“A dish of carrot hastily cooked may still have soil uncleaned off the vegetable.” Chinese Proverb



I really need to get rid of these carrots.  Catchy carrot proverbs aren't as easy to find as you may think and neither is really tasty carrot-ginger dressing.  This dressing is almost identical in taste to the carrot-ginger dressing at my favorite Japanese restaurant, though a tad bit thicker and just a smidge punchier.


Carrot-Ginger Dressing




You will need:
1 cup roughly chopped carrots (about 3 medium)
1/4 medium onion roughly chopped
1 inch peeled and chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. miso
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
 1/4-1/2 cup water (depending on the consistency you like)
Pinch of sugar and fresh ground pepper

Toss all ingredients in a food processor ( I use my Magic Bullet...THANKS MOM!!) and process till smooth.  Serve atop a delicious mound of  fresh greens..grilled fish or veggies...or anything else you can think of that would be tasty.
