This Carrot Ginger Miso Dressing is quickly becoming one of my favorite dressings of all time. It’s rich and creamy without any dairy (it’s vegan)! Pour it over salads or use it as a dipping sauce for veggies. The recipe couldn’t be simpler, it has only 5 ingredients and 1 step!

Ingredients For Vegan Carrot Ginger Miso Dressing

  • Carrot 
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • Rice Vinegar 
  • Mellow White Miso
  • Fresh Ginger 

How to Make Carrot Ginger Miso Dressing

From start to finish the salad dressing will take you only 5 to 10 minutes (depending on how fast you can peel the ginger)!

Step 1: Peel the fresh ginger. Peeling fresh ginger can be a challenge because of its irregular shape. It’s hard to peel the skin in between the branches. (See my tips to peel ginger below). Next peel the carrot.

Step 2: Throw the carrot, ginger, miso, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil into a high speed blender. I like using the Vitamix. Emulsify until the dressing is completely smooth. It will look like cheese sauce when it’s done.

There are two ways to peel ginger.

  1. Using a Peeler
  2. With a Spoon

Using a peeler to shave the ginger is faster than peeling it with a spoon. But if you aren’t careful you can cut yourself. Slice the ginger into straight peices to make it easier to peel. If you cant get every little bit of skin off, don’t worry. As long as you get most of it off the dressing will still be tasty.

It’s definetly safer to peel ginger with the back of a spoon. Turn the spoon over in your hand so that the back of the spoon is facing up. Use the tip of the spoon to scrape off the skin. You’ll be surprised at how well this works!

How Long Does Miso Dressing Last?

This dressing is so good it has never lasted long enough in my fridge to go bad. But you can keep it in the fridge for seven days. It’s perfect to make on the weekend so that you have salad dressing all week long!

Creamy dressings also freeze well. So you can also freeze it. I recommend freezing the dressing in ice cube trays for perfectly frozen portions.

Benefits of Miso Paste

Did you know that miso paste is full of minerals, vitamin B, E and folic acid? The most beneficial thing about miso is that it’s fermented. Fermented food provide your gut with probiotics. These friendly bacteria help us digest our food and create our own B vitamins! Miso paste is loaded with gut healing bacteria.

Ingredient Substitutions and Tips

  • If you’re avoiding soy you can use chickpea miso instead of regular miso paste.
  • If the dressing is too salty or acidic for you add more carrots and sesame oil.
  • If the dressing isn’t salty enough add an additional teaspoon of miso paste.
