Carrot-Ginger Dressing

This dressing goes great with avocado salad, but we love it with simply prepared salmon, chicken, or rice as well. If you like a little kick, add a chopped Thai chile, some crushed red pepper flakes, or drizzle of chili oil.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients

2 medium carrots, peeled, thinly sliced

2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Purée carrots, ginger, garlic, vinegar, miso, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and ½ cup water in a blender on high speed until solids are very finely chopped, about 30 seconds (mixture will look grainy and watery, but that’s okay). Add mayonnaise and blend on low speed until smooth and creamy.
