Carrot Ginger Dressing

Ingredients:

- 1 c. baby carrots

- 1/2 c. water

- 2 T. fresh ginger root, minced

- 1 T. seasoned white rice vinegar

- 2 t. soy sauce

- 2 t. toasted sesame oil

- 1 t. honey

Directions:

1.  Combine carrots and water in a small bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 5 minutes until softened.  Meanwhile, grate the ginger.

2.  In a blender or food processor, combine carrots and remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.  Chill before serving (best to make it at least a few hours or even a day ahead).

as you can see, this is a very thick dressing

just like in the restaurants.

if you prefer, add a little water to thin the consistency
