Ingredients

• 2 medium Carrot
• 1 tablespoon (peeled and minced) Fresh ginger

Directions

Step 1

Peel and roughly chop the carrots into small pieces for easier blending.

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped carrots, minced ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, olive oil, lime juice, honey, and water.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
