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.

GINGERED CARROTS
I first made this original recipe about 40 years ago, and it hasn't failed me yet. The thing I like about the dish is that it isn't plain. The flavorings dress up an "ordinary" vegetable, and put some real zip in any meal! This is an easy, quick dish to make, and it adds a splash of color to your table.
