You can make this fresh, crunchy raw carrot salad in under 10 minutes. It features ribbons of carrot tossed in a tangy, bright Asian-inspired dressing perfect for a quick side dish or light meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons. Stop peeling when you reach the core. Discard the cores.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), and red pepper flakes until fully combined. This is your lime sesame carrot salad dressing.
  3. Place the carrot ribbons in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons. Toss gently with tongs until all the ribbons are evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion.
  6. Serve this crunchy fresh salad immediately for the best texture, or let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For the best ribbon texture, use a standard vegetable peeler rather than a mandoline.
  • If you are making this ahead for meal prep, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to maintain the crispness.
  • This salad supports gut health due to the raw vegetable content.
