Vegan MoFo Day 24 - Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing

I’ve been craving a carrot ginger salad dressing for a few days.  So, I finally whipped it up today.  I think it would also be wonderful over some grated carrots.  I may have that tomorrow! 

Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing

3 small carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

2 Tablespoon sweet onion

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons soy sauce

2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

Put the carrot chunks and onion in a pot and add enough water to cover (about a cup.)  Cook over medium high heat until carrots are tender – about 20 minutes.  Cool.

Put the carrots, onion and cooking water into a blender.  Add the ginger, salt, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar.  Blend until smooth.

I had mine over romaine lettuce and sliced grape tomatoes.  It is absolutely delicious.  It has a nice spicy flavor.  If you like a sweeter salad dressing, you might want to add an additional teaspoon of sugar.
