Description
A refreshing raw carrot ribbon salad made with simple pantry ingredients and fresh herbs. Perfect as a side or light meal.
Ingredients
2 carrots, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons of olive oil (optional)
1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of agave or maple syrup
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon of crushed red peppers (optional)
2 tablespoons of parsley, roughly mined
1 teaspoon of mint, minced (optional)
Sesame seeds, garnish (optional)
Instructions
Wash the carrots, then using a peeler carefully slice thin and long slices. Set aside in a large bowl.
In a jar or small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, oil, balsamic vinegar, agave or maple syrup, salt and pepper, and mix to combine. Set aside.
To the bowl with the carrots, add the parsley and dressing. Toss and serve at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
Make the slices thin enough: They should be super flexible, not too tough.
To speed up prep: A mandoline or food processor slicing disk can get the carrots ribboned in seconds.
Adjust the texture: By changing the thickness and cut (aka into slices, spirals, or making a shredded carrot salad).
Allow the flavors to meld: If you have the time, leaving the carrot ribbons to ‘marinate’ for at least 30 minutes (1–2 hours is even better).
