Hey Friends,
This Recipe came about, when I had faaar to may carrots in my fridge! (I’m going through a phase right now, where I buy to much of an ingredient or not at all of the things I wrote on my shopping list.) So with 2kg of carrots sitting in my fridge, I had to make something that would allow me to use A LOT of it. So I thought: What about a carrot salad. (don’t know why that was the first that popped into my mind)
This Recipe has the PERFECT balance of sweet and salty. Topped off with LOTS of vitamins and proteins. Also perfect for a to-go lunch or as a side for dinner. I like to pair it with some whole grain bread and for lunch. It’s a super easy one-bowl recipe that you can totally make ahead. For all of you that aren’t vegan: you can even sprinkle some feta cheese on top.
