Miso-Ginger Dressing image

This classic Japanese dressing elevates a simple green salad into something restaurant-worthy. We also like it spooned on top of a pile of sautéed spinach or drizzled over a piece of grilled fish.

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
1 inch long piece fresh ginger, cut into coins
Salt
freshly ground black pepper

Put all ingredients except salt and pepper into a food processor and pulse a few times to mince carrots. Then let machine run for a minute or so, until mixture is chunky-smooth. (If you want it smoother, use a blender.) Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
