Equipment

  • 1 Vegetable peeler

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large carrots
  • 1 1/2 tsp tbsp toasted sesame oil (may use olive oil)
  • 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hot honey or regular honey
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Green onions, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel the carrots.  After peeling, continue to peel the carrots lengthwise into ribbons.  Place the carrots in a serving bowl.
  • Whisk the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hot honey and lime juice together in a small bowl until well incorporated.  Pour the dressing over the carrots and toss together.
  • Top the salad with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. 
  • The salad can be refrigerated for about 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.  This salad is more flavorful the longer it sits!
  • NOTES: *Store salad in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.  Salad gets better as it sits. *Optional add-ins for the salad are:  chopped cilantro, fresh ginger, hot red pepper flakes, crushed peanuts or cashews, chopped red bell pepper, or chopped cucumbers.  Some add-ins may influence the shelf life of the salad and become soggy such as nuts, pepper or cucumbers.
