Description

A refreshing and vibrant Raw Carrot Salad featuring thinly sliced carrots tossed in a tangy, slightly sweet dressing with aromatic spices and fresh herbs. This quick and easy salad is perfect for a light side dish or a healthy snack, delivering crisp texture and bright flavors in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 3 large carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint

Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Carrots: Cut the carrots into 3-4 inch pieces (or adjust to your preference), then use a mandoline to slice the carrots lengthwise as thinly as possible. Set aside the thin carrot slices.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, agave syrup, ground coriander, optional cayenne pepper, and kosher salt until well combined and smooth.
  3. Mix the Salad: Add the sliced carrots, chopped parsley, and sesame seeds to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly until all carrot slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Serve & Store: Enjoy the salad immediately for a crisp bite, or let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the carrots to soften slightly and absorb the flavors. Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline carefully to achieve uniformly thin carrot slices for the best texture.
  • The cayenne pepper is optional; omit it if you prefer no heat.
  • For extra freshness, add chopped cilantro or mint to the salad.
  • Store leftovers chilled and consume within 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • This salad can be adjusted with other herbs like dill or basil based on preference.
