Apple cider vinegar adds a milder flavor while being healthier.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil provides a lighter taste and is healthier.

Chop 1 small carrot and 1/4 medium onion into rough pieces.

Add carrot and onion to a glass bowl with 1 tablespoon of water.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes at 600 W, or until the carrot can be pierced with a fork.

If not using a microwave, steam the carrot and onion for about 6 to 8 minutes instead.

In a mini food processor, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 tablespoons of apple juice.

Add the cooked carrot and onion to the food processor.

Seal the container and blend until smooth, shaking or scraping down the sides as necessary.

Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes before using.
