Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 cup carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1/4 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp ginger, peeled and chopped

Liquids & Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar (substitute apple cider vinegar for AIP)
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar (omit for Whole30)
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped carrots, celery, yellow onion, peeled ginger, avocado oil, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, sea salt, and black pepper into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and reaches a thick, creamy consistency characteristic of a dressing.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and add extra salt, pepper, or sweetener as desired to suit your preference.
  4. Store and Serve: Pour the dressing into a container and refrigerate. Serve chilled over salads featuring romaine or iceberg lettuce with shredded carrots and any additional ingredients of your choice.

Notes

  • For an autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet, substitute rice vinegar with apple cider vinegar and omit black pepper.
  • For Whole30 compliance, omit the coconut sugar.
  • Use fresh ginger for optimal flavor; peeling and chopping it before blending helps release its spicy aroma.
  • Store the dressing in the refrigerator and consume within a week for best freshness.
