Carrot-Ginger Salad Dressing

I discovered a delicious no-oil salad dressing at the Darien, CT Whole Foods when I was staying up there for work last summer. I placed a special order for it at my local WF 3 months ago but I am starting to suspect it's never coming. So, I think I'll try to make my own! Here's my first try (totally on the fly), without much preparation:

1/4 cup carrot juice
1/2 tbs. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. ginger paste
Few splashes golden vinegar
(All measurements are approx. I just eyeball everything.)

You can use a blender or fork to mix it up. This took me about two minutes to throw together. I really want to experiment with a variety of preparation methods. I'd like to juice my own carrots and use the pulp to thicken up the dressing. Also, I think I'll try white wine vinegar next time and I think it needs sesame seeds.
