CARROT GINGER DRESSING



Carrot Ginger Dressing image

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.

CRUNCHY GREENS WITH CARROT-GINGER DRESSING



Crunchy Greens With Carrot-Ginger Dressing image

This recipe draws inspiration from the sunny-orange flavor of green salads with carrot-ginger dressing at Japanese American restaurants. The pulpy, aromatic dressing may be the star, but a salad is only as good as its lettuce. After washing and thoroughly spin-drying the greens in a salad spinner (alternatively, you can pat them dry in a clean kitchen towel), one way to maximize their crunch before adding the dressing is to refrigerate them, covered, for at least 30 minutes. Little Gem has a sweet, juicy sturdiness, but regular packaged mixed greens, baby spinach and chopped romaine hearts work, too.

Time 10m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt
2 to 4 heads Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated, or 1 romaine heart, chopped
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a food processor, purée the carrot, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, onion powder, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water until as smooth as possible, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dress the salad: Place the lettuce leaves in a large serving bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and toss, then add more as needed to evenly coat. The salad should be lightly dressed, not drowned; don't use every drop of dressing if you don't need to. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt as desired. Top the salad with the mint leaves and serve immediately.
