Notes
Use fresh, firm carrots for the best texture and flavor. Julienne-cut them for a delicate crunch and optimal absorption of the dressing.
Toasted sesame seeds not only add visual appeal but also a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the salad. Sprinkle them on top just before serving for added texture.
Feel free to customize the salad by adding other ingredients like shredded cabbage, sliced bell peppers, or diced cucumbers for extra crunch and freshness.
