This lightly seasoned salad was a favorite of mine growing up, close to a sunomono, a Japanese cucumber salad dish. I've added sweet, spiralized carrots here, and Mom likes to add extra fresh ginger to this refreshing summer side dish.

MISO CARROT SAUCE WITH GINGER (JAPANESE SALAD DRESSING)



Miso Carrot Sauce With Ginger (Japanese Salad Dressing) image

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).

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 2 tablespoons corn oil
1/4 cup rice vinegar

2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into big pieces
1 inch gingerroot, peeled and cut into coins
1 -2 teaspoon sugar (optional) or 1 -2 teaspoon sugar substitute, to taste (optional)

  • Chill before serving: Allow the salad to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavors and allows the dressing to meld with the vegetables.
