Tofu-Carrot Ginger Dressing with Miso

Similar to the dressing served on iceberg lettuce in Japanese restaurants, this is equally good on salads and as a marinade. Any silken tofu will work in this recipe and provide a smooth consistency.

Ingredients
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup silken tofu
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons yellow miso (soybean paste)
2 teaspoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 garlic clove, crushed

Preparation
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until smooth.
