Carrot Ribbon Salad:
- 3 large carrots peeled into ribbons (use a vegetable peeler)
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
Spicy Tangy Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- juice of half a lime
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted preferred
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic finely grated
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger optional
- ½–1 teaspoon chili crisp adjust for heat
- Pinch of salt to taste
- Peel your carrots into long ribbons: Using a veggie peeler, peel the carrots into long, wide strips. Rotate the carrot as you peel for even ribbons. Snack on the core or save for broths.
- Place ribbons in ice water: Keep the carrot strips in a bowl of ice water while preparing the dressing to maintain crunch.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together rice vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili crisp. Adjust sweetness and heat to taste.
- Toss salad together: Combine carrot ribbons, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Pour dressing over and gently toss until coated. Top with sesame seeds and more green onions.
- Let flavors meld: Allow the salad to sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb flavors. The carrots will soften slightly. Serve and enjoy!
