Make this quick, crunchy raw carrot salad using a tangy Asian vinaigrette. It is a simple, no-cook side dish that supports gut health and is ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and shredded or ribboned
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots. Use a box grater to shred them finely, or use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons for a satisfying crunch. Place the prepared carrots in a medium bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, Dijon mustard, and ground ginger, if using. Whisk until the dressing emulsifies slightly.
  3. Combine: Pour the tangy Asian vinaigrette over the shredded carrots. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
  4. Rest (optional): For best flavor, let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the carrots to absorb the dressing.
  5. Serve: Transfer the raw carrot salad to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion before you serve it.

Notes

  • For a hormone balance focus, ensure you use high-quality apple cider vinegar in place of or alongside the rice vinegar in the dressing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter salad, add 1/4 cup of raisins to the mix before dressing.
  • This salad tastes best when served immediately for maximum crunch, but it holds up well in the refrigerator for one day.
