Step 1

Put your blender jug or food processor body onto your kitchen scales and weigh directly into it, this will save time and washing up. Weigh/measure all of your ingredients directly into it, with the exception of the neutral oil. Weigh the neutral oil into a small bowl or jug.

Step 2

When you have all the ingredients except for the neutral oil in your blender, blitz it up until you have a nice smooth consistency. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the oil as you would for a mayonnaise. This should take a minute or two.

Step 3

Taste the dressing and decide if it needs more salt or sweetness, or even a touch more vinegar. Trust your instincts and season to your personal taste.

Step 4

Get all your salad ingredients into a bowl or on a pretty plate. Dress generously with the carrot and ginger dressing. Eat and enjoy!
