Retinol Salad

材料

5 to 7 large carrots (peeled into thin ribbons)

2 to 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced or grated)

½ cup green onions or scallions (finely sliced)

Fresh cilantro (chopped, to taste)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds [1, 2, 3, 4]

Dressing

3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 to 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Juice of 1 large lime

Chili garlic crunch or chili crisp (optional, to taste) [1, 2, 3, 4]

手順

Prepare the Carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons directly into a large mixing bowl.

Add Aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Mix the Dressing: In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and chili crunch.

Combine and Marinate: Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Toss well to coat.

Rest and Serve: Let the salad sit for 20 to 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge) so the carrots soften and absorb the flavors. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
