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.
