A recipe that comes WAY too late

This carrot and ginger salad dressing is one of my favourites. So why haven’t I share it yet? After more than 3 years with a Spanish blog devoted to japanese cusine?

Because of my terrible tendency to share the more complicated and elaborate recipes and not the simple ones. THIS has to change.

Something as incredible as this vinaigrette that sneak into my kitchen week after week, needs to be shared

Carrot and ginger salad dressing

If you like Japanese cuisine, you’ve probably come across it in a restaurant.

You will recognize it by its vibrant orange colour and the perfect balance of sweet, salty and sour.

Ingredients for carrot and ginger salad dressing.

Making this vinaigrette at home is a breeze. All you need is:

• Carrot.
• Onion. I like to use “figueres onion” for its sweetness. If you don’t have access to these, don’t worry.
• Ginger. I recommend starting with about 7 grams and, if you are a big fan of ginger flavour, you can
• experiment with a little more.
• Sugar. You can add more or less, to suit your palate.
• Soy sauce.
• Rice vinegar.
• Oil. Traditionally, it is made with a neutral oil, but I love it with olive oil.

How long will the vinaigrette last?

This salad dressing will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
