Carrot And Cucumber Salad

"My Carrot and Cucumber Salad is a fresh, crisp, and vibrant side that mixes julienned or sliced carrots and cucumbers. It’s tossed in a bright dressing which makes it perfect for potlucks, BBQs, or a refreshing pair to any meal. In the heat of the summer, I love to make refreshing salads for my family. These are two of their favorites: the cucumber onion salad recipe and my cucumber and chickpea salad. This easy salad with cucumber and carrot is as delicious as it is simple to make. It’s made in 15 minutes, uses minimal ingredients and tool,s and is super easy to customize. It’s a light, vibrant, and nutrient-packed salad. It’s a perfect way to add more vegetables to your diet without sacrificing flavor. With a prep time of just 15 minutes, this recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights or last-minute meal additions. There’s no cooking required, making it simple and convenient. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of main courses, from grilled chicken or fish to Asian-inspired dishes, sandwiches, or even a bowl of soup. The dressing hits all the right notes: the umami and saltiness from the soy sauce/coconut aminos, the tangy kick from the rice vinegar, a touch of sweetness from the honey, and the nutty, aromatic notes from the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. The recipe is naturally gluten-free (if using Tamari or coconut aminos) and can be easily made vegan by swapping honey for another sweetener like maple syrup. The sturdy vegetables hold up well, making it a fantastic component for meal prepping lunches throughout the week."
