Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 3 large carrots

Dressing

  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Toppings

  • Sesame seeds, to taste
  • Green onion, chopped, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Wash and peel the carrots thoroughly. Then, use a vegetable peeler to create thin carrot ribbons for the salad, which enhances texture and presentation.
  2. Mix the dressing and carrots: Place the carrot ribbons in a large bowl. Add the sesame oil (or olive oil), rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Mix everything together thoroughly to evenly coat the carrots with the flavorful dressing.
  3. Add toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the dressed carrot ribbons to add crunch and a fresh onion flavor.
  4. Serve or chill: Enjoy the salad immediately for a crisp and fresh experience, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together for a more developed taste.

Notes

  • Use a sharp vegetable peeler to make even carrot ribbons easily.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds before adding them.
  • Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
  • This salad can be made vegan by substituting honey with maple syrup or agave.
  • Refrigerating the salad enhances the flavor but slightly softens the carrot texture.
