Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing

I’m back on keto and been struggling to find recipes I love…And then I stumbled across this and realised it’s keto friendly if you make it right!

*Ingredients:*
1 medium/large piece ginger, peeled and diced

4 medium-sized carrots, peeled and diced

1 medium-sized onion, peeled and diced

1/2 cup rice vinegar

1/2 cup vegetable, peanut, or avocado oil

3 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)

1 Tbsp your favourite sugar substitute

*Directions:*

After peeling and roughly dicing the ginger, carrots, onion, throw the veggies and rice vinegar, oil, soy sauce, and your choice of sugar substitute into a food processor. Blend until smooth. You can add more sugar substitute if your preference is for a sweeter dressing; throw in a dash or two of apple cider vinegar if you like more tang. Makes about two cups of dressing. I eat it with spring salad mix, or spinach/kale, throw in some cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion.

*Notes:*
The original recipe (which uses real sugar) claims 2 Tbsp of this dressing contains 3g carbs and 2g sugar, which if you use substitute, I would think the added sugar would be 0g and the carbs would be a little less as some come from the sugar, and some come from the onion and carrot. The way I do keto, I only track added sugars and carbs from starches/grains, so natural sugars and/or carbs from veggies I don’t worry about. It’s what works for me, but may not work the same for you! Use your own discernment 🧡
