Ginger Dressing

Ginger Dressing

Have you ever eaten at a Japanese restaurant and they serve you a really simple iceberg lettuce salad with that scrumptious orange colored dressing on it?? Well, I was dining with a friend the other day and she mentioned how much she enjoyed that dressing and wished she knew what was in it. Well, I did some research and tested recipes to find the perfect ginger dressing. It turns out that pureed carrots are what gives it that beautiful orange color and ginger is the main ingredient. You could use this dressing on any salad, but remember it's very clean and light tasting. I only made one addition and one slight change. Enjoy!
