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.

ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING
Asparagus takes easily to many kinds of seasonings, so after you've tired of having it plain with butter or homemade mayonnaise, try this spicy dressing laced with ginger and chiles. Adding smoked chicken is a nice way to make a more substantial first course or light lunch. You can purchase smoked chicken at better butcher shops or online, but equally good is grilled chicken at room temperature, or cold poached chicken. I sometimes substitute lightly smoked ham or smoked slab bacon, simmered until tender.

Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette, put shallots in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and cayenne and let steep for 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, then whisk in sesame oil and vegetable oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Snap off the tough end of each asparagus spear, then cut each spear into 2-inch lengths. Cut thicker pieces in half lengthwise as necessary so all cut pieces are approximately the same size. Place asparagus pieces into boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and cool under running water. Blot dry.
- To make the salad, put asparagus in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chile, if using, and crushed peanuts. Dress with half the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
- Arrange dressed asparagus on a platter or on individual plates. Tear chicken slices into strips and scatter over asparagus. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the salad and give it a good squeeze of lime. Garnish with basil, mint and cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

MISO CARROT SAUCE WITH GINGER (JAPANESE SALAD DRESSING)
Really nice dressing! One measure of a good home cook is the ability to make your own salad dressing. Or so says Mark Bittman in the food section of the New York Times. This is the orange dressing you sometimes see on your too-cold salad in Japanese restaurants. I made this tonight, and thought it was much better than any other I ever tried at a Japanese restaurant! I made this with half the corn oil, so if you'd like to try the original recipe you can increase amount to 1/4 cup. I did not decrease the sesame oil (but did use regular).

Tips:
- Select the Freshest Ingredients: Opt for the ripest ginger, tangy citrus fruits like lemons or limes, and high-quality olive oil. Fresh herbs like cilantro or mint can add a burst of flavor.
- Balance the Flavors: Achieve a harmonious balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy elements. Use honey or maple syrup to add sweetness, citrus juice for sourness, a pinch of salt for balance, and freshly grated ginger for a spicy kick.
- Adjust the Consistency: Make your dressing as thick or thin as desired. For a thicker dressing, use less liquid or add a dollop of yogurt or Greek yogurt. For a thinner dressing, add more liquid or even some sparkling water for a refreshing twist.
- Experiment with Different Herbs and Spices: Don't limit yourself to the classic ginger dressing ingredients. Try adding a teaspoon of ground cumin, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a handful of chopped nuts for a unique flavor profile.
- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: The quality of the olive oil greatly influences the overall flavor of the dressing. Opt for extra virgin olive oil for its rich taste and health benefits.
