Ingredients

  • 2 carrot about 1 1/3 cups chopped, medium
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 cup onion (white or yellow)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. white miso
  • 1 Tbsp. tahini
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and roughly chop carrots. Peel and grate ginger.
  2. Place all ingredients in a small high-speed blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds until combined. (I use a small NutriBullet.) Add a splash more water if needed.
  3. Can enjoy immediately, but tastes best after it chills for a few hours to let the flavors blend and onion mellow.

Notes

  • Yield: Recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups dressing.
  • Storing: Store in a sealed container or glass jar in the fridge for 4-5 days.
  • Refined oil-free: Ensure your tahini doesn't include added oil. I purchase the 365 brand organic tahini which is made from ground sesame seeds and salt.
  • Recipe originally published June 2018. Updated May 2023.
