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.

CARROT-GINGER DRESSING

The bright flavors and vivid color of this dressing wake up salad greens. Fresh carrot juice makes this dressing a good source of beta-carotene, which protects eye health and night vision. Tofu gives it a silken consistency.
