OBSESSED!!! I live for this dressing. One of my biggest reasons for going to Benihana was for the carrot, miso, ginger salad. I’d slurp it all up after I ate every cool, crisp piece of lettuce soaked in those sweet, tart and umami flavors. I created this one with a little more health benefits in mind by adding Maca powder. Maca is a natural energy booster, increases fertility, reduces blood pressure and sun damage. Slather this all over some iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced cucumbers and diced tomatoes. You can give me a hug later.
- 2 med carrots roughly chopped
- 1 (2 inch) piece fresh peeled ginger
- 3 tbsp sweet or mild miso

Put all ingredients into a high powered blender. Blend until smooth.
