Miso Carrot Sesame Dressing

A delicious versatile Asian flavored dressing to go on salads, vegetables, or served as a dip. I started eating this after reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s blog, goop, and she posted this recipe from the book “Clean”. Then I became kind of addicted to it and out popped my own version. I love the fact that is raw and is so good for you, but also tastes incredible, which is no easy feat in raw food.

Healthy/Vegan/Raw/Quick/Gluten free

6 servings

• 2 large shallots
• 2 large carrots chopped roughly
• 6 garlic cloves
• 1 6” piece peeled and chopped ginger
• 2 limes
• 5 tbsp sweet white miso paste
• 5 tbsp agave nectar
• 5 tbsp tamari sauce
• 3 tbsp mirin
• ½ cup sesame oil

Put all ingredients into a blender (smoother than a food processor) except the oil. Blend for a few minutes; you may need to give the blender a shake so the top bits get blended. Slowly add the sesame oil. Should be rather thick, you do not want it to liquid, but if it is too stodgy, add some water a bit at a time. Taste for seasoning- you may want to salt and pepper the dressing to your taste.
