A vibrant and refreshing rainbow carrot salad paired with a zesty ginger vinaigrette, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Rainbow carrots (orange, purple, yellow, red), peeled into thin ribbons
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, lightly toasted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the rainbow carrots. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons and set aside.
  2. Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, lime juice, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot ribbons, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Drizzle the ginger vinaigrette over the carrot mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl, garnish with extra sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Use long, even strokes with your peeler to create beautiful carrot ribbons.’, ‘Adjust the dressing to taste by adding more honey for sweetness or lime juice for tang.’, ‘Toast sesame seeds ahead of time to save prep time.’, ‘Serve in a wide, shallow bowl to showcase the vibrant colors.’]
