Ingredients

  • 2 medium carrots (about 1 1/3 cups chopped)
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup onion (white or yellow)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. white miso
  • 1 Tbsp. tahini
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

  • Peel and roughly chop carrots. Peel and grate ginger.
  • Place all ingredients in a small high-speed blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds until combined. (I use a small NutriBullet.) Add a splash more water if needed.
  • Can enjoy immediately, but tastes best after it chills for a few hours to let the flavors blend and onion mellow.
