Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 medium raw carrots
- 2 green onions, chopped
Dressing
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Red chili flakes, to taste
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Garnish
- Chopped fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley)

Instructions
- Prepare the Carrots: Wash and peel the carrots to remove the skin. Continue peeling the carrots to create long, thin ribbons. Place these carrot ribbons in a bowl and add the chopped green onions. Set aside while you prepare the dressing.
- Make the Dressing: In a small jar or bowl, combine the grated ginger, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well or shake the jar vigorously to blend all flavors.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons and green onions. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the salad with sesame seeds and chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro and parsley for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of ginger and chili flakes according to your spice preference.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- This salad is best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- If you don’t have a peeler for ribbons, you can finely grate the carrots instead.
