Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
