Tips

  • Use your dominant hand to hold the carrot stable on a cutting board and use your other hand to make the carrot ribbons with a vegetable peeler.
  • I suggest thinly slicing the cucumber since the carrots are in fine ribbons.
  • Mix the dressing ingredients in the bottom of the dish and then add the vegetables on top and mix it all together.
  • Grate the fresh ginger using a zester.
  • Meal Prep - prep your vegetables and make the dressing in advance. Store separately until ready to serve.
  • Storage - store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. It actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to absorb into the vegetables.
