CARROT GINGER DRESSING



Carrot Ginger Dressing image

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.

1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped (about 4 ounces)

1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 cup white miso
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for firm, brightly colored carrots with no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Use a sharp peeler: A sharp peeler will make it easier to peel the carrots and will help prevent waste.
  • Grate the carrots finely: Finely grated carrots will absorb the dressing better and will be more tender.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the carrots and make the salad too heavy.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Gingerede carrot salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor profile, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a simple and refreshing salad, give this gingered carrot salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
