Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Raw Carrot Salad
  1. Begin by peeling the fresh carrots with a vegetable peeler, ensuring to remove any blemishes for a vibrant look. Next, use a spiralizer or the peeler to create thin, long ribbons from the carrots.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, the juice of half a lime, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of honey until well combined and slightly emulsified.
  3. Take your bowl of freshly ribboned carrots and add them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the carrot ribbons, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. With clean hands or salad tongs, gently toss the carrot ribbons in the dressing to coat evenly without breaking them.
  5. Transfer the beautifully combined Raw Carrot Salad to a shallow bowl for a stunning presentation. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
