Description
A vibrant and crunchy carrot salad tossed in a citrusy coriander dressing, perfect for healthy side dishes or meal prep.
Ingredients
3 large carrots peeled and ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon agave or sub maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint optional
Instructions
Step 1: Peel and trim the carrots, then shred them using a box grater or a food processor.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and agave until well combined.
Step 3: Add the coriander, salt, and cayenne pepper to the dressing and stir to incorporate.
Step 4: Pour the dressing over the carrots in a large bowl and toss to coat thoroughly.
Step 5: Fold in the chopped parsley and sesame seeds (and optional herbs if using).

Letting the salad sit for 30 minutes improves the texture as the carrots absorb the dressing.
