How to Make Carrot Salad

This salad is made with a Wasabi dressing and is great to enjoy anytime of the year. It is healthy, low in calories and very bold. Wasabi is Japanese horse radish and is made into a paste. It is served with Sushi and can literally unclog your sinuses if you are not careful! However, used in a balanced way, it adds a great edge to dressings and, of course, soy sauce when you are eating sushi.

This year I thought it would be fun to include this carrot salad on my Thanksgiving and Christmas menu as a healthier alternative to glazed carrots. It delivers fresh crunchiness with a mild punch. I made this particular batch with Stevia but it most certainly can be made with sugar. Not a problem whatsoever. If you are vegan you will love this version of carrot salad with no mayonnaise in it.

Here is what you are going to need for this:

Serves four
1 TBS sugar or Stevia
3 TBS rice vinegar
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 ½ tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. Wasabi paste or horse radish
10 oz. package of Julienne carrots
6 oz. snow peas – washed and cut in the diagonal
¾ cup of cooked Edamame
1/3 cup raisins
1 cup julienne seeded cucumber

Place the sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and wasabi in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and incorporated.

Place the carrots, snow peas, edamame, raisins and cucumber in a bowl. Add the dressing and toss well until all vegetables are coated.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight. Next day, serve and enjoy!
