🍽 Ingredients

• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 1 medium Orange
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

📖 Instructions

1. Wash and peel the carrots. If you're feeling fancy (or lazy!), you can use pre-peeled carrots from the store—no judgment here!
2. Using your sharp knife, thinly slice or julienne the carrots. Aim for even slices or strips for a visually appealing and uniformly textured salad. Remember, a sharp knife makes all the difference; dull knives lead to tears (both in your carrots and in your eyes)!
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots with the grated ginger. I usually grate about 1-2 tablespoons of ginger, but adjust to your liking; I tend to be a bit of a ginger fiend.
4. Juice the orange. I typically get about 1/4 cup of juice, but it will vary depending on your orange’s size and juiciness. If you don't have a juicer, you can simply squeeze the juice by hand (though you might get a few seeds in there).
5. Whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, honey, and salt in a small bowl. This creates the amazing dressing that brings everything together.
6. Pour the dressing over the carrots and ginger, gently tossing to combine everything. Don't overmix; you want the carrots to retain their pleasant crunch.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Sometimes, I like to add a pinch more salt or a touch of honey to balance the flavors. It's all about getting that perfect taste harmony!
8. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, garnish with orange segments, and serve immediately or chill for later. I love to let the flavors meld a bit in the fridge before serving it up—but really, it's delicious straight away!

📝 Notes

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes!
• Substitute maple syrup for honey if needed.
• If using pre-peeled carrots, skip the peeling step!
