Carrot Sesame Slaw - An Easy Carrot Salad Recipe
This recipe is spectacular with rainbow carrots if you can find them (your farmers' market or natural foods store is your best bet), but it works equally well with the standard orange variety as well. I love this salad as a light lunch or as a side dish at dinner time. It keeps very well and I think it tastes even better the next day.
Equipment
- Mandoline or a sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 bunch carrots cut into long julienned slices
- juice from 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoons gluten free tamari sauce
- 1 teaspoon gluten free fish sauce or additional tamari
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- handful of chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Julienne the carrots using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the carrots in a medium bowl. In another smaller bowl, whisk together the lime juice, sesame oil, tamari, fish sauce and honey.
- Drizzle over the carrots and toss well (I use my hands).
- Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
