Vegan Carrot Salad With Tahini Dressing
Report
Healthier than the classic mayo-based recipes, this vegan carrot salad features a delicious tahini dressing that gets a bit of kick from sriracha. Gluten-free, oil-free, and just 15 minutes of prep.

Ingredients
Dressing ingredients:
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or spicy mustard
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 to 3 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce optional
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon water as needed for consistency
For the salad:
- 1 ¼ pounds carrot 20 oz
- ½ cup raisins
- large handful of cilantro Add just before serving, or parsley; leaves; roughly chopped; optional
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sesame seeds or hemp hearts; optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the dressing ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Wash and peel the carrots. Shred them using the grater attachment of a food processor or with a box grater.
- In a large bowl combine the shredded carrots, raisins, and dressing. Stir to combine. *See Notes below if making in advance. Sprinkle cilantro/parsley and seeds on top, if using. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- Carrot Raisin Salad is best eaten fresh. If carrying it to a party, and including cilantro or parsley, either sprinkle the herbs on top (don't fold in), or wait and add them just before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
