Carrot-Ginger Dressing

This dressing goes great with avocado salad, but we love it with simply prepared salmon, chicken, or rice as well. If you like a little kick, add a chopped Thai chile, some crushed red pepper flakes, or drizzle of chili oil.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Add mayonnaise and blend on low speed until smooth and creamy.
