Method
Carrot salads are a popular dish at potlucks, BBQs, and family gatherings. I have tasted versions with pineapple added, cream based dressings, and vinaigrette dressings. This salad is a simpler, lighter version with only five ingredients. I found that using unsalted tahini as an easy dressing worked perfectly (and made me reminiscent of the carrot sticks and peanut butter snacks we received elementary school). The combination of just a handful of ingredients really plays up both the sweet and savory flavor profiles this salad has to offer.
Enjoy!
- First, place your raisins in warm water to soak. This will soften the raisins and make them less chewy.
- Next, peel and shave your carrot using a peeler.
- Place carrot shavings on a serving plate.
- Top with drained raisins, unsalted tahini, few dashes of salt and pepper.
- Enjoy!
