You need this quick, crunchy raw carrot salad recipe. It is simple to make, requires no cooking, and uses a tangy lime and sesame dressing. This refreshing side dish supports gut health and is perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups carrots, shredded or ribboned
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: If you have time, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons for a better texture. Otherwise, shred the carrots finely. Place the prepared carrots in a medium bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the shredded or ribboned carrots. Toss everything together until the carrots are evenly coated.
  4. Rest and serve: Let the salad sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is key for the best taste.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving. This salad is excellent immediately or as a meal prep option for up to three days.

Notes

  • For a TikTok viral variation, add a pinch of chili flakes to the dressing for a slight kick.
  • This salad is great for hormone balance because raw carrots contain beneficial fiber.
  • If you want a sweeter dressing, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing mixture.
