Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium carrots; 175 grams)
  • 2 inches fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion or shallot (57 grams; about 1/4 of an onion)
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (43 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (38 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (7 grams)
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust any of the flavors to your liking.
  2. You can serve this dressing right away, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, I'd start with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and add more to taste.
  • To make this recipe vegan, use 2 to 3 tablespoons of maple syrup instead of the honey.
