Description
Enjoy the freshness of this Gluten-Free Viral TikTok Carrot Salad, featuring a vibrant combination of shaved carrots, nutty sesame seeds, and a flavorful dressing that brings everything together.
Ingredients
6 carrots (peeled and shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler)
2.5 tbsp sesame seeds (I like McCormick toasted seeds for a nuttier flavor)
3 tbsp cilantro
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1.5 tbsp soy sauce (I always use Kikkoman Less Sodium)
1 tsp rice vinegar
1.5 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove (freshly minced for best flavor)
1/4 tsp ginger powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shaved carrots, sesame seeds, cilantro, and red pepper flakes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger powder to create the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
- Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For an extra crunch, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds of your choice. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes according to your preference.
