Print Recipe

A crisp and refreshing Asian Raw Carrot Salad that combines fresh vegetables with a tangy dressing for a deliciously nutritious dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium carrots (shaved into ribbons)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • A splash of lime or lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, Thai basil)
  • Crushed peanuts or toasted cashews

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots by shaving them into ribbons using a vegetable peeler or a spiralizer.
  2. Make the dressing in a small bowl by mixing rice vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari), honey or maple syrup, chili flakes, olive oil, and lime or lemon juice until well combined.
  3. Toss the carrot ribbons in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Toss gently to coat the carrots evenly.
  4. Add the toasted sesame seeds, thinly sliced scallions, fresh herbs, and nuts to the salad. Mix again and adjust the salt to taste before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Keep dressing separate until ready to serve for optimal freshness.
