Carrot, Miso, and Ginger Salad Dressing

Name: Carrot, Miso, and Ginger Salad Dressing
Yield: serves 4

To achieve a uniform consistency, grate the carrot on the small holes of a box grater before pureeing in the food processor. We like to serve the colorful dressing in its own dish and let each person spoon some over a salad of butter lettuce, sunflower sprouts, sliced radishes, and edamame.
