Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large carrots, peeled
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced (or 2 green onions, diced)
- 3 tablespoons toasted white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon good quality olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (or more to taste)
- 1/2 small lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- optional: 1 large clove garlic, grated on a zester/zester plane
- drizzle of tahini
- drizzle of pure date syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and slice the onion. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the carrots into long ribbon strands. I highly recommend using a mandoline (level 1) to thinly slice the onion, but if not use a sharp knife to cut them into even slices.
- Toss all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Taste and adjust flavors as desired. I prefer a heavy drizzle of the tahini and date syrup.
- Serve immediately while cold.
