Ingredients
- Rainbow carrots
- Sesame oil
- Soy sauce
- Rice vinegar
- Fresh ginger
- Garlic
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and thinly shaving the rainbow carrots.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
- Add the shaved carrots to the bowl and toss well to coat them in the dressing.
- Sprinkle in chopped green onions and sesame seeds, mixing gently.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
Shaving carrots thin helps the dressing cling. Mix the dressing first so you can coat all the carrot ribbons fast. Add sesame seeds last to keep them crunchy. Let the salad sit 10–15 minutes to let flavors blend before serving.
