Carrot ginger miso dressing

I have recently been experimenting with homemade salad dressings and discovered how much more willing I am to eat salad when there's a yummy dressing. I got this one on recipezaar and am in love with it! I used olive oil and probably added much more oil once the mixture was done as it still looked thick...can't quite tell if it's because my version of medium sized carrot was off...

1 inch gingerroot, peeled and cut into coins
1-2 teaspoon sugar (optional) or sugar substitute, to taste (optional)
