Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 carrot carrot (4.8 oz, 135 g)
  • ¼ onion onion (2.5 oz, 70 g)
  • 1 inch ginger (1 inch, 2.5 cm; 0.6 oz, 17 g; preferably milder young/spring ginger)
  • 1½ tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon miso (I use mild and mellow white miso)
  • ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (to taste)
  • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ cup rice vinegar (unseasoned)
  • ¼ cup neutral oil

Instructions
 

  • Gather all the ingredients.
  • Peel 1 carrot and chop it into pieces about ½–1 inch (1.25–2.5 cm).
  • Chop ¼ onion into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces.
  • Peel 1 knob ginger and slice into small pieces. Put all the chopped vegetables into a food processor or a high-powered home blender.
  • Purée until fine and smooth.
  • Add 1½ tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon miso, ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the vegetable purée.
  • Add 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, ½ cup rice vinegar (unseasoned), and ¼ cup neutral oil.
  • Process again until the dressing is completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve over a green salad.
  • You can store the dressing in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.

Notes

If it’s too sour, add a bit more sugar. If you prefer a lighter dressing, add water to thin it; I don’t add water so the dressing will keep longer.
