Carrot Ginger Dressing

There are so many ways to use carrots. It's such a versatile vegetable. Chop them up for salads and stir fries, braise them with a roast, stir them into soups and stews, grate them for muffins or a cake, add them to your juicer or smoothie blender, or just enjoy them raw.

With all of the other crunchy vegetables we sent in our boxes this week, it seemed a bright and flavorful salad was in order! We’re blending a couple carrots with fresh ginger, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil into the most delicious carrot ginger dressing. It’s a classic sushi restaurant-style dressing that transforms a simple lettuce salad into something truly satisfying.

We’d love to see all of the simple and special ways you’re using this week's produce! Be sure to snap a photo of your kitchen creations, post it to social, and tag us @realfoodremedyrx.
