There are many variations to making a Creamy Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing. I have seen anywhere from Japanese to cooked versions. This is one that I drummed up based on a salad that I adore from Corelife Eatery. 

I am not sure of the secret ingredients of this recipe but have asked a few questions while my salad is being prepared. You see, I have a hard time digesting anything that contains dairy or gluten. Luckily, every item served at Corelife Eatery is free of gluten and dairy. 

And the food is delish. I sound like I am writing a full-on post advertising them, but trust me, I have no affiliation with them other than I just love that restaurant. This Creamy Carrot Ginger Salad is the jam. Instead of sweetening this dressing with agave, I use honey and pineapple juice. These items are more of a staple in my home.
