After the better part of a summer spent eating salads it's time to mix things up with some creative dressings! This recipe is smooth, creamy, and would pair well with other recipes with Asian flavors (you might even consider trying it with your Joi Choi). The trick is to blend it REALLY WELL to avoid chunks!
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup rice vinegar
2 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped (about ⅔ cup)
2 tablespoons peeled and roughly chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey
1 ½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil
¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
In a blender, combine all of the salad dressing ingredients as listed. Bend until completely smooth. Taste, and add additional salt if the dressing doesn’t make your eyes light up. If it’s too sour (it should have some zing to it), blend in a bit more honey.
Serve over greens and any other ingredients you’d like. Recipe keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 to 2 weeks.
