This salad is what it says it is – quick and easy! All you have to do is put some ingredients together and you have a delicious, refreshing salad that doesn’t even have oil or sugar. It’s filling too. Having a salad before your meal is good for digestion and helps you eat less overall, so it’s great for weight management.
Ingredients
- 3 Large Carrots (grated)
- 1 Stalk or Bunch Green Onion or Coriander (cilantro if you like)
- 1/4 Cup Roasted Peanuts (crushed)
- 1/2 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds (roasted – hulled ones taste better)
- Pinch of Salt
- For the Dressing – 1/2 Tablespoon Lime or Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar (Or Sub More Lime or Lemon Juice)
- Fresh Chili, Crushed or Chili Flakes (optional – I didn’t use any)
- Pinch of Salt
Preparation
Prep: 5 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
- Grate the carrots (I whizzed mine in the food processor).
- Mix them with the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds.
- Sprinkle some salt (so the carrots release their juices and flavours) and set aside.
- Make the dressing and mix it well with the salad. Serve!
- You can make it in advance and refrigerate: the carrots don’t get brown or soggy and all the flavours come together even more.
