August 2007
Does the idea of kids wolfing down their vegetables seem utterly improbable? This faintly sweet, gingery dip, reminiscent of that addictive Japanese-restaurant salad dressing, is made mostly from carrots, so you'll be delighted by the compulsive dipping and crunching that’s bound to ensue when you put it out.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 5 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped peeled ginger
- 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
-
Accompaniments:
raw carrot, celery, and cucumber sticks; trimmed green beans and asparagus; broccoli and cauliflower florets; or any other vegetables in season
-
Purée all ingredients in a blender until almost smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and chill, covered, at least 1 hour.
Cooks’ note: Dip can be chilled up to 1 day.
