If you are looking to amp up your salad dressing game, then this Japanese Carrot-Ginger Salad Dressing will be the perfect recipe to do it with! It is a bright, tangy, and zesty sauce that is super easy to make, 100% plant-based, and is extremely useful to have on hand. It's excellent over fresh or grilled vegetables as a salad dressing, or you can stir it into soups and stews for a hit of bright, gingery flavor.
If you frequent Japanese restaurants, you have probably encountered this Carrot-Ginger Salad Dressing. It certainly leaves an impression- with its bright orange hue and robust Asian flavors. The carrots lend a sweetness that perfectly blends with the zesty and peppery tones of fresh ginger. Adding rice vinegar gives it a touch of tanginess, while the soy sauce imbues that umami savoriness that is uniquely delicious.
We always believe that homemade dressing is 100% better than buying off the shelf or ordering off the menu. Here are several reasons why:
You can make this dressing ahead of time and place it in a bottle or jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. I do not recommend freezing this as it will affect the texture.
