Summertime Cucumber Carrot Salad

Picture
Gluten-free, vegan & raw! This delicious salad is hearty enough for a main dish, and can also work as a side.  

All the herbs & veggies (except the edamame) came either from my garden or my fantastic CSA pickup with Farm Chicks Produce.

Next time I make this, I'll amp up the beauty factor by shredding the carrots in my food processor or cutting the veggies with a spiralizer.

Due to the dressing and the cut cucumbers, it's best eaten the day it's made.

INGREDIENTS:
Salad
  • 2 large cucumbers Julienned (inner cores omitted)
  • 2 large carrots, cut with peeler or spiralized
  • 1 tsp kosher or himalyan salt
  • 8 mini or 1 regular size red pepper, chopped
  • 3/4 cup frozen edamame, thawed and drained
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 2 TBSP cilantro, chopped

Dressing
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar
  • 2 TBSP gluten free tamari (or GF soy sauce, or coconut aminos)
  • 2 TBSP grated ginger
  • 1/2 TBSP maple syrup
  • Juice from 1/2 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
  • Julienne cucumbers and place in colander. Toss with salt and allow to drain in sink for at least 15 minutes. 
  • Prepare dressing by combining all ingredients
  • In a separate large bowl, mix prepared carrots, peppers, edamame
  • Transfer cucumbers to a clean dish towel and pat dry.  Mix them in veggie bowl.
  • Toss veggies with 2-3 TBSP of the dressing, or to desired coating. (the recipe will make more - don't dump the whole thing in!)
  • Top with sesame seeds, onions, and cilantro
