1/2 a small sweet apple (, peeled and chopped (like Honey crisp)

1 medium piece fresh peeled ginger (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions

Cut off the roots of 2 medium carrots, 1 small onion, 1/2 a small sweet apple, and 1 medium piece of fresh peeled ginger. Peel and give them all a rough chop.

Place the chopped carrots, onion, apple, ginger, 1/2 cup neutral oil, 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 & 1/2 tablespoons honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor or a high powdered blender and pulse until smooth.

Give it a taste and adjust to your liking, adding more salt, pepper, or honey, if needed. If the dressing is thicker than you'd prefer, blend in a small bit of water until you get the desired consistency.

Use as desired or store for later. This is a classic dressing served over a house salad at Japanese restaurants.
