Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Prepare the carrots by peeling and trimming the ends, then julienne them into thin, matchstick-like strips using a sharp knife or mandoline.
- Whisk together the dressing in a large mixing bowl, combining olive oil, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, agave, ground coriander, cayenne (if using), and kosher salt.
- Add the julienned carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly with clean hands or tongs, letting the salad sit for 2-3 minutes.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until they’re golden and fragrant.
- Fold in the fresh parsley and toasted sesame seeds, giving everything one final gentle toss.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed—add more salt, lime, or agave to taste.
- Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
