Ingredients

8-9 medium rainbow carrots (or regular carrots, about 1 ¼ pounds), peeled into ribbons
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, finely grated or mashed
½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (plus more for garnish)
2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari (or coconut aminos)
1 tablespoon fresh citrus juice (I used lemon, but orange could also work great)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2-3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or chili crisp)
½ teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for balance)
¼ cup chopped toasted cashews (plus more for topping)

Optional Garnishes:

Extra sliced green onion
Sesame seeds
Chopped toasted cashews
Microgreens

Instructions

Peel the carrots:

Use a vegetable peeler to shave carrots into long ribbons. Add to a large mixing bowl.

Add aromatics and dressing ingredients:

To the bowl, add green onion, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, tamari, citrus juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and maple syrup, if using.

Toss to combine:

Use clean hands or tongs to gently toss until everything is evenly coated and the carrots have slightly softened but remain crisp.

Finish with crunch & serve:

Fold in the toasted cashews. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more citrus, red pepper flakes, or salt if needed.
Garnish with extra cashews, sesame seeds, and optional herbs or microgreens. Serve immediately, or chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

This salad is great for meal prep! It’s also a refreshing side for a dinner party. Serve it with my Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs and Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Lemony Chive Sauce for a complete summertime meal.
