Main Ingredients
  • 4 large carrots The star of the dish, providing sweetness and crunch.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated Adds a spicy, aromatic kick.
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil Gives a rich, nutty flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Brings saltiness and depth to the dressing.

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Provide nutty notes and a beautiful garnish.

Preparation
  1. Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, create long ribbons from the carrots.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the carrot ribbons with the dressing until evenly coated.
  4. Finely chop green onions and sprinkle over the salad.
  5. Serve garnished with sesame seeds, and enjoy your fresh and crunchy salad!

Notes

For quicker prep, buy pre-peeled and cut carrots. Substitute fresh ginger with ground ginger if necessary, but use less as it is more potent. For added protein, toss in some shredded rotisserie chicken or tofu. Make your ribbons thinner for a more delicate salad.
