One of my go-to salad dressings at the grocery store is Makoto ginger dressing. I love its chunky texture and its savory, slightly sweet flavor. It makes any green salad incredibly delicious. After going through so many bottles, I came up with my own copycat version that tastes just as good as—if not better than—the original.

All you need to do is blitz the ingredients (which include apple, carrot, and ginger) in a blender or a food processor. That’s it! This easy-to-make dressing gives a simple bed of salad greens so much life. I love adding some shredded carrots and sliced cucumber to make the salad taste even better, as those fresh veggies pair so well with the ginger dressing.

Key Ingredients in Ginger Dressing

Apple: The secret ingredient that adds a nice sweetness. You don’t have to peel the skin (I think it adds a nice texture), but you can if you prefer. Use sweet, snappy apples such as Pink Lady or Honeycrisp.
