Preparation
Step 1
Add the carrots, onion, ginger, sugar, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and sea salt to a high-speed blender.
Step 2
Blend until the vegetables are completely smooth.
Step 3
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the canola oil until the dressing becomes smooth, creamy, and fully emulsified.
Step 4
If using any optional ingredients, blend them in now.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for brightness, or sugar or maple syrup for additional sweetness.
Step 6
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve over iceberg or romaine lettuce, cabbage salads, cucumber salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, steamed edamame, or as a dip.
