Asian Carrot Ginger Dressing
Description
This dressing combines fresh minced ginger and garlic with shredded carrot, minced onion and celery, balanced by peanut or sesame oil and rice vinegar. Tomato paste adds body and depth, while soy sauce and raw sugar provide savory and sweet elements. Black pepper and lemon juice contribute additional layers of flavor and brightness.
