Ginger has so many great attributes and this dressing is a great way to get a big hit of fresh ginger. Ginger is naturally warming, stimulates digestion, and reduces “dampness” in the body. Ginger’s concentrated anti inflammatory properties can help reduce pains related to cramping and arthritus, and may relieve bloating.

Vegan, nut free, gluten free. You’ll need a Ninja Blender or VitaMix. Takes about 15 minutes

Recipe

• 3 medium carrots, peeled, ends cut off, and cut into 1” pieces.
• 1 cup loosely filled with fresh ginger pieces that have been peeled
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 5 T rice vinegar
• 3 T sesame oil
• 2 T neutral oil
• 1/4 c agave
• 1/2 c ish water (use as needed)
• 1 tsp miso paste
• 1 1/2 tsp salt or more to your taste

Combine all ingredients and blend until pulverized. It won’t get entirely smooth but neither was my favorite restaurant dressing.

Use on any salad or just the classic-Iceberg lettuce with any combination of cucumber, radish, carrot, or tomatoes
