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
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint
Instructions
- Prep the Carrots: Cut the carrots into 3–4” pieces, then use a mandoline to slice the carrots lengthwise as thinly as possible. Set aside.
- Make the Dressing: Add the oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, agave, coriander, cayenne, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk well until evenly combined.
- Mix: Add the sliced carrots, parsley, and sesame seeds to the bowl. Mix well until all of the carrots are evenly coated in the dressing.
- Serve & Store: Enjoy immediately, or wait 10–15 minutes for the carrots to soften slightly. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Carrots: I prefer to slice my carrots into “noodles” with a mandoline because I enjoy the texture, but it does make them harder to put on sandwiches or toast. If you’d like, you can also grate the carrot for a finer texture that’s more spoonable!
