The Zesty Carrot and Ginger Miso Delight brings a refreshing and unique twist to traditional dip offerings. Vibrant orange carrots blend seamlessly with the zesty kick of fresh ginger and the umami depth of white miso, creating a creamy, smooth dip that is both visually appealing and bursting with flavor.

Instructions
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the chopped carrots. Simmer until the carrots are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the cooked carrots, white miso, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, water, minced garlic, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Blend the ingredients until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl and blend again for a silky texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the dip is too thick, you can add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro if using. Serve with your choice of fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita chips.
