Scale
- 1 cup shredded peeled carrot
- 1/2 cup peanut oil, preferably roasted
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, dark or amber or agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons miso paste *see ingredient note
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Notes
*Ingredient note: miso paste is found in the refrigerated section of the supermarket with the tofu and other refrigerated Asian ingredients, such as egg roll wrappers. Often in an area of the produce section in large supermarkets. Choose a lighter-colored variety for the mildest flavor. If you prefer, simply substitute 1 tablespoon of reduced sodium soy sauce or wheat free tamari and add a pinch of salt to taste.
