Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup carrots roughly chopped
  • ½ cup onion peeled and roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup celery roughly chopped
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce (I always buy GF and low sodium.)
  • 1 small garlic clove

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop all the produce.
  • Place in the blender.
  • Add all other ingredients to the blender.
  • If you are sensitive to sodium, start with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. You can always add more if needed.
  • Cover the blender and turn on high.
  • Puree until smooth.
  • Taste, then add more soy sauce if desired.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • This recipe makes approximately 2 cups.
  • The dressing can be made up to 4 days in advance. Refrigerate until ready to use, then shake well before serving.
  • Oil Options: You can use any flavorless oil in this recipe. Sometimes I add ¼ cup canola oil, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to boost the flavor, but the sesame oil is not necessary.
