Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 4 large carrots peeled into ribbons
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds black and white mix
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
Dressing
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil toasted
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated

Equipment

  • Vegetable Peeler (Y-Peeler)
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Peel the outer skin of the carrots. Use a peeler to shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons.
  2. Optional: Soak ribbons in ice water for 10 minutes to crisp, then drain and pat dry.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and ginger.
  4. Place carrot ribbons in a bowl and toss with the dressing until evenly coated.
  5. Garnish with black and white sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a Y-peeler for wider, more consistent ribbons. Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
