Carrot Ginger Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Put the carrot and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid, then drain the carrot.
• Puree the carrot and reserved cooking liquid in a blender until smooth. Add the ginger, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and teaspoon salt; pulse until smooth.

Steps:

• Combine carrots, vinegar, ginger, honey, onions, and garlic clove in blender or food processor (I use a food processor).
• Add oil in a slow drizzle while continuing to blend.
• Blend until desired thickness is reached.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
• I think the amount of ginger was about 1/2 Tablespoon and the honey about 2 Tablespoons (adjust to taste if you don't have a good kitchen scale).
• Shallots can be used in place of onion and garlic.

Steps:

• Add the carrot, apple, ginger, garlic, miso, rice vinegar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a blender. Puree until smooth. (If necessary, stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to help the ingredients blend completely.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

Steps:
