Carrot Ribbon Salad

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Whole Carrots
  • 1 Garlic clove minced of (1Tablespoon Garlic Powder)
  • Zest of 1 lemon/lime

Instructions:

  1. Peel the carrots into ribbons. Starting at the top of the carrot, slide the peeler down the entire carrot until you have a ribbon. Continue until you have about 8 cups (but it doesn’t have to be exact).
  2. To make the sauce, mince one garlic clove and put in a bowl. Add the zest from 1 lemon, then juice that same lemon, or lime into the bowl. Add in the oil, soy sauce, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Taste, and adjust seasonings to your liking.
  3. Mix in the sauce with the carrot ribbons until all of them are coated.
  4. Allow to sit for 10 minutes so carrots can absorb the flavors, serve and enjoy!
