There are very few details that can upset a simple salad by turning it into a sophisticated dish while remaining simple to prepare. And one of the most effective tricks is dressing. I’ve never been a lover of supermarket-ordered dressing: fat and difficult to digest. In this recipe, I propose a light and delicious dressing that will embellish any bed of salad like a suggestive blanket of tropical colors.

A single carrot and a piece of ginger can be transformed into a creamy, orange dressing that will go very well on fennel, spinach leaves, quinoa, and tofu!
