Japanese carrot-ginger salad dressing

Don't let the idea of an orange dressing hold you back! This is a delicious ginger-y, carrot-y, vinegar-y, sesame-y salad dressing balanced out by the sweetness from the apple. Excellent on a kale salad with sesame seeds.

Dressing:

  • 125 grams carrots
  • 30 grams shallot
  • 15 grams ginger
  • 40 grams apple
  • 60 ml rice vinegar 
  • 60 ml neutral oil (avocado is good)
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tbs cold water
  • 1 tbs toasted sesame oil 

Peel and roughly chop the carrots, ginger, shallot, and apple. Add these and the rest of the ingredients to a blender or magic bullet and blitz into delicious-ness. If you prefer your dressing slightly sweeter, add a bit of sugar/honey/maple syrup to taste.
