Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling and chopping the carrots, onion, and ginger into smaller pieces for easy blending. In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped carrots, onion, ginger, granulated sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  2. While the blender is running, gradually drizzle in the canola or vegetable oil. Continue blending for another 30 seconds until the dressing becomes creamy and emulsified.
  3. Once blended, taste your dressing and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or sugar as needed.
  4. Drizzle your dressing over a salad or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
