Packed with lively flavor and color, this carrot-ginger dressing is a staple we use to brighten up everything from salad greens to vegetarian bowls, pita sandwiches, and cold soba noodles.

This is an easy, handy recipe to have on hand for quick weeknight dinners or lunches to take to work. You can make the dressing thick or thin it with water … either way, if you’re like us, you might find it – and the foods it’s paired with – disappearing rather quickly!
