Description

A crisp and vibrant carrot ribbon salad recipe tossed in an Asian sesame dressing. Perfect for light meals, picnics, and meal prep.


Ingredients

    • 3 large carrots, peeled
    • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce)
    • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    • Fresh cilantro or green onion for garnish


Instructions

  • Peel carrots into long, thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler.
  • Soak carrot ribbons in cold water for 5 minutes to boost crunch.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, ginger, garlic, and maple syrup.
  • Drain and pat dry the ribbons, then place them in a large bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the ribbons and toss gently to coat.
  • Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
  • Top with sesame seeds and herbs before serving.

Notes

  • To keep it crunchy longer, store ribbons and dressing separately until ready to serve.
  • Add chili flakes or sliced jalapeños for a spicier version.
  • Pairs well with tofu, grilled meats, or as a side for Asian noodles.
