This de-luscious dressing is strikingly similar to the Miso Ginger Dressing that Gill posted back in April, but it’s got one important difference: carrots! All that rockin’ beta carotene takes this salad topper to the next level, and creates a fabulous yellowy orange color that rivals mustard for most vibrant condiment award.
