Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (1 1/2-inch piece)

1 large carrot, finely grated

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon rice-wine vinegar

2 teaspoons white miso

3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

1 tablespoon water, if needed

Preparation

In the bowl of a food processor, pulse ginger and carrot to a coarse paste. Add vinegar and miso, and pulse to combine.

With the machine running, slowly add oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube until mixture is emulsified. Add water if dressing is too thick. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
