CARROT GINGER DRESSING
What makes the salad dressing often served in sushi restaurants so delicious? The orange gives away the carrots, but everything else is blended into a smooth, tangy and well-balanced vinaigrette. Apple is used as an unexpected natural sweetener and miso adds a salty complexity. Be sure to find white miso; it is subtly sweet and mellow compared to other varieties and won't affect the color of your dressing.

Steps:
- Place carrots and ginger in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high; cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain carrot mixture, reserving cooking liquid.
- Transfer carrot mixture to a blender, and add oil, syrup, garlic, salt, and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure lid on blender, and place a clean towel over opening in lid (to prevent splatters). Process until blended, about 45 seconds; add more reserved cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate until dip is room temperature or cold, at least 30 minutes. Garnish with freshly ground pepper and pickled ginger slices. Serve dip with crudités, rice crackers, or pretzels.
