Equipment

  • 1 high-speed blender or food processer *using a blender is ideal

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups peeled and roughly chopped large carrots about 3-4 carrots depending on size
  • 2 tablespoons fresh peeled ginger, roughly chopped
  • 1 small shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Coconut aminos would work, also.
  • 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup filtered water Plus more if your dressing is too thick.

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into the blender. Process until smooth. The dressing is thick however if it is too thick, slowly add a tablespoon of water at a time to the moving blender until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Store in a mason jar with a lid in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • When you are ready to eat the dressing, make sure to give it a good shake before pouring it.

Notes

*The ACV can be replaced with rice vinegar.
*You can use any type of vegetable oil. For the best quality and nutrients, I recommend olive oil.
*If you do not like strong spices, omit the garlic and reduce the ginger to 1 tbsp.
*If you are looking to make this vegan (it is already dairy-free), or cut the sugar, omit the honey.  Honey gently ties the flavors together but is optional!
