Have you ever wondered what’s in that delicious dressing they pour on top of house salads at Japanese restaurants? Well, today is your lucky day! I recently created this Miso and Ginger Carrot Dressing, putting my own flexible twist on the traditional recipe. The best part? It takes just minutes to make and you can customize it to fit your taste preferences. Yup, it’s true, this Japanese-inspired dressing is thick and creamy. But you can always up the amount of oil or water it down slightly to make it a bit thinner.
Along with pouring this Miso and Carrot Ginger Dressing on top of salads, try it on a poke bowl. Poke is traditionally made with a soy-sauce marinade, but it’s always fun to take a flexible approach and shake things up!
