Carrot Ginger Dressing
As it turns out, your favorite salad dressing from the Japanese restaurant is super easy to make at home! No more feeling embarrassed about asking your server for seconds or thirds!
This dressing can either be made in the food processor, blender, or even with an immersion blender. It is best to chop up the carrots and ginger into 1/2 inch pieces or smaller before blending so that you don't burn out the motor on your equipment.
The dressing is excellent on green salads, grain bowls, or cauliflower rice bowls. It is also a lovely accompaniment to steamed vegetables and broiled fish. And don't forget the avocado! The savory sweetness of the dressing plays well with avocado's richness.
Best of all, the dressing is vegan and can be made gluten free by using tamari, not soy sauce.
