A refreshing and healthy Raw Carrot Salad, featuring thinly sliced carrots tossed in a zesty lime and apple cider vinegar dressing, enhanced with aromatic spices and fresh herbs. This easy-to-make salad is perfect as a light snack or side dish, offering a crisp texture and vibrant flavor with minimal preparation.

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 large carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Carrots: Cut the carrots into 3-4” pieces or your preferred length, then use a mandoline slicer to slice the carrots lengthwise as thinly as possible. Set the sliced carrots aside.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, agave syrup, ground coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), and kosher salt. Whisk thoroughly until the dressing is well emulsified and evenly combined.
  3. Mix: Add the thinly sliced carrots, chopped parsley, and sesame seeds to the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything together thoroughly until all carrot slices are evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
  4. Serve & Store: Enjoy the salad immediately for maximum crunch, or let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the carrots to soften slightly and absorb the flavors. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin carrot slices to ensure the best texture and flavor absorption.
  • The cayenne pepper is optional and can be omitted or adjusted to taste for spice preference.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or mint add extra brightness and can be included if desired.
  • This salad stores well for several days but tastes best fresh or after a short marinate.
  • Adjust sweetness by altering the amount of agave or maple syrup according to your preference.
