Description

I love the carrot ginger dressing at Japanese restaurants. I mean really love it. If we all go out and my kids don’t finish their salads, I do. In fact, I have been known to drink the last from the bowl.

This recipe tastes exactly like it. Now that I know how to re-create it, I will be making this all the time. It tastes great on a iceberg, or romaine salad with lots of avocado!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Large Carrot, Peeled And Roughly Chopped
  • ½ whole Shallot, Peeled And Roughly Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Roughly Chopped Fresh Ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon Sweet White Miso
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
  • ¼ cups Grapeseed Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Water

Preparation

Pulse the carrot, shallot and ginger in the bowl of a food processor until finely chopped, scraping down the sides occasionally. Add the miso, vinegar and sesame oil, and blend. With the food processor running, add the grapeseed oil and water to the processor’s feed tube and blend until the dressing is emulsified.

katturner,

Sorry for the slow reply. I don’t get notified when there’s comments via email…so, I only just noticed this question was here!
I find the sweet white miso @ whole foods. It can also be found at Asian markets.
If neither of these are an option for you, I recommend buying some online…I know Amazon has loads of specialty foods available. It’s worth getting some if you like carrot ginger dressing, because it lasts FOREVER in the fridge, even after opening. So, one jar can last a very long time.
If you like this dressing as much as I do, you will be happy to have it.

Twinks,
Miso is essential to this recipe. You can try it without it, but it won’t be the same.

Was excited to see that both reviewers left the miso out when they made it…I don’t think I can find it at my country store. Will be trying this out!

This looks incredible! I do have a question, though: where can you find sweet white miso? I’m doubtful I can find it where I live… is there a substitution that I could do, should I not be able to find it? Thanks!

I like to serve it with a very crisp salad green, using either romaine, or iceberg {or a combo of both}. Along with some radish, cucumber, thinly sliced red onion & avocado slices. YUM!

So delicious, fresh, and exactly like the dressing at our favorite sushi house. I made a salad with chopped iceberg and cilantro, avocado, tomato, cucumber, and shredded carrots. It was perfect on top!

I made this today, had to omit miso because we were out. It was delicious nevertheless, even the picky eaters enjoyed it!

I was hoping this dressing would be like the one they serve at a Japanese hibachi grill I love called Shogun’s, and it was! The color is really gorgeous too! I left out the white miso and used a little orange juice. It was still absolutely perfect and delicious! Next time, when I can make it to the Asian supermarket, I’m definitely going to try the miso. I served this dressing on a salad with iceburg lettuce and matchstick carrots like they do at the restaurant. Yum! Definitely a keeper!
