Make this quick, crunchy raw carrot salad featuring ribbons of fresh carrot tossed in a tangy Asian-inspired dressing. It is ready in under 15 minutes and works well as a healthy side dish or light meal prep component.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 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 when you reach the core. Discard the cores.
  2. Place the carrot ribbons into a medium bowl.
  3. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons.
  5. Toss the carrots gently with tongs until all the ribbons are evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onion before serving immediately for the best crunch.

Notes

  • For a hormone balance focus, ensure you use high-quality ingredients like cold-pressed sesame oil.
  • If you prefer shredded carrots instead of ribbons, use a box grater for a similar texture.
  • This salad is best eaten right after preparation for maximum crispness.
