Why these Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- Pat the carrot ribbons dry if they release a lot of moisture — this helps the dressing cling.
- Let the salad rest 5–10 minutes after dressing for the best flavor.
Storage:
- Best served fresh. Dressed ribbons can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day, though they will soften slightly.
Swaps:
- Use sesame oil instead of avocado oil for a nuttier, more aromatic flavor.
- Swap soy sauce for tamari to keep it gluten-free.
Tips:
- Use a Y-peeler for the widest, most elegant ribbons.
- Add thin cucumber ribbons for extra freshness.
