CARROT GINGER DRESSING

What makes the salad dressing often served in sushi restaurants so delicious? The orange gives away the carrots, but everything else is blended into a smooth, tangy and well-balanced vinaigrette. Apple is used as an unexpected natural sweetener and miso adds a salty complexity. Be sure to find white miso; it is subtly sweet and mellow compared to other varieties and won't affect the color of your dressing.

FRESH GINGER CARROT SALAD

I created this salad as an alternative to the mayonnaise, raisin and carrot salad my mom used to make. I had some leftover ginger and really liked the fresh taste. I have a sweet tooth, and this salad satisfies it! -Lauri Cherian, Scott Depot, West Virginia

CARROT & CRANBERRY SALAD



Carrot & Cranberry Salad image

I've been trying all kinds of different recipes for carrot salad, and just haven't found the right one yet. So....I decided to stop dorking around, and create one myself. It's taken a few attempts ;) but I finally found the right combinations, at least for me. The dressing is not as sweet as some, allowing the flavours to show through more. I hope you enjoy it too. Note: Cooking time is chilling time.
