4-Ingredient Carrot Dressing

This 4-ingredient, 1-step, Carrot (no ginger) Dressing tastes exactly like the house dressing you typically find at Japanese restaurants. Rice vinegar and sesame oil are staples in my kitchen but miso and fresh ginger are not. So I came up with this shortcut that captures the taste, without all the ingredients and even works without the hassle and extra step of streaming in the oil. (As for ingredient count — olive oil and salt, don’t count — hence the number 4). Honestly it’s taking you longer to read this header note than it will to make this delicious dressing (that I have been caught eating by the spoonful).

This is enough dressing for 8-10 cups of lettuce.
