You need this quick, crunchy, and refreshing raw carrot salad in your life, inspired by the viral TikTok trend. This easy raw carrot salad features bright Asian flavors with a tangy lime sesame dressing, perfect as a healthy side dish or light lunch. It is simple to make with no cooking required, relying on fresh ingredients for maximum flavor and crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and ribboned
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into thin ribbons, or use a mandoline on a thin setting. Place the carrot ribbons in a medium bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and garlic powder until well combined.
  3. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons. Toss gently until all the ribbons are evenly coated.
  4. Finish and serve: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion over the salad. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld slightly.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use a vegetable peeler to create wide, thin ribbons instead of shredding the carrots.
  • This salad supports gut health and is a popular choice for hormone balancing diets.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing mixture.
