Carrot Ginger Ingredients and Substitutions

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this ginger salad dressing recipe, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• carrot strips – You can grate them fresh or use pre-ground varieties.
• minced ginger – Brings a burst of spice and sweetness.I recommend fresh ginger for the best ginger paste, but you can also use 3/4 tsp ginger powder instead.
• avocado oil – a less processed neutral oil than soybean or canola oil in restaurant sesame ginger sauce recipes. You can also use olive oil.
• onion – You can also use chopped red onion.
• garlic – Use fresh for best flavor, or get canned minced garlic To save time.
• white miso paste – Suppresses the pungent taste of fresh ginger. If you can’t find miso paste, you can use 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or soy sauce) instead.
• rice wine vinegar – Rice vinegar has a mild taste and adds just the right amount of tartness to this Asian ginger salad dressing. Apple cider vinegar is the closest substitute if necessary.
• sugar – I used this unsweetened honeyBut regular honey will work too.
• lime juice – Balances the sweetness of carrots and honey.
• sesame oil – Adds a nutty flavor and aroma. I prefer to use toasted sesame oil for the sesame ginger dressing, but regular works just as well.
• sea ​​salt – Seasoning and flavor enhancement.
