Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping the carrots, onion, and fresh ginger into manageable pieces. In a blender, combine these chopped veggies with the granulated sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend on medium speed for about 30-40 seconds, until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
  2. With the blender running, gradually pour in the canola or vegetable oil. Continue blending for another 20-30 seconds until the dressing is fully emulsified and has thickened slightly. Taste and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your liking.
  3. Once the dressing is well mixed and creamy, transfer it to a serving bowl or a jar with a tight lid. This Japanese Carrot Ginger Dressing is now ready to elevate your salads!
