Carrot Ginger Dressing

I was on a bit of an Asian kick yesterday and wanted to make a salad in addition to a main course. Carrot ginger dressing was the perfect option for a healthy, Asian salad.

I had never thought of using carrots in the dressing, normally only as a component of the salad itself. Well it was a delicious, delicious idea. So light, bright, and flavorful.  And so easy to make.  I think the whole recipe came together in under 5 minutes.

This recipe will absolutely be made again.

Ingredients

• 3/4 c. carrot, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. ginger, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp. shallots, finely chopped
• 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 c. vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp. water

1. Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend about 1 minute.
2. Pour over lettuce and enjoy.
