Japanese Carrot Dressing
Ingredients:
- 1 sm Carrot; shredded
- 2 Tbsp Mirin; (Japanese sweetcooking wine)
- 2 Tbsp Rice vinegar or cidervinegar
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 dr Dark sesame oil – *see note
- 1 Tbsp Prepared mustard

Preparation:
Sorry if this is a cross-post for some of you…Here”s a great recipe for a dressing like that served on salad in Japanese restaurants.
*Note: original recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil Whirl all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Well covered, it keeps in the refrigerator for about a week. (Note: I prefer to add the shredded carrots after blending the other ingredients together. I also use the ginger – I think it needs it.)
