Begin by peeling and grating the 4 large carrots using a box grater or food processor. Aim for fine shreds for a delightful crunch.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Whisk together until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrots and pour in the prepared dressing. Toss the mixture for about 1-2 minutes until the carrots are evenly coated.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds into the salad, mixing gently to combine.

Season your salad with salt and pepper to taste, tossing the salad again to distribute the seasoning.

Garnish the salad with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. Roughly chop and scatter it over the top.

For best results, allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
