MISO CARROT SAUCE WITH GINGER (JAPANESE SALAD DRESSING)
Really nice dressing! One measure of a good home cook is the ability to make your own salad dressing. Or so says Mark Bittman in the food section of the New York Times. This is the orange dressing you sometimes see on your too-cold salad in Japanese restaurants. I made this tonight, and thought it was much better than any other I ever tried at a Japanese restaurant! I made this with half the corn oil, so if you'd like to try the original recipe you can increase amount to 1/4 cup. I did not decrease the sesame oil (but did use regular).

JAPANESE SALAD WITH CARROT-GINGER DRESSING
Steps:
- 1) Combine the lettuce, sliced cucumber, cabbage, and cherry tomatoes in a salad bowl. 2) Blend all the dressing ingredients in a food processor until the carrot and ginger are pureed. Put the finished dressing in a small serving bowl with a serving spoon. 3) Serve the salad in individual-size bowls and pass the dressing. The grated carrot and ginger will cling to the top of the lettuce, and the remainder will seep to the bottom, so it's not advisable to use flat plates.
