Ingredients

Servings

Dressing ingredients:

  • 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

  1. In a small bowl combine the dressing ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots. Shred them using the grater attachment of a food processor or with a box grater.
  3. 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.
