Clove Kitchen's tips

This salad comes together super quick and is best fresh, so assemble it right before dinner goes on the table. If you need to prep ahead of time, grate the carrot, pat it dry with a paper towel, and store it in a container in the fridge, these will be good for 3-4 days. The sesame seeds can be toasted and stored in a container or jar until needed.

Very quick salad, I dont like grated carrot (random quirk of mine) so julienned. I also added very thin slices of onion. Served with grilled chicken.

Quick and easy after a long day at work and minimal cleanup was a bonus. It also contains ingredients I always have on hand, so I can see it going into rotation for a quick meal.

Quick and easy salad to prepare. Nice addition to leftovers from yesterday. Used lemon juice as we didn’t have limes. Enjoyed the ginger and sesame flavours.

So few ingredients- so much punch! This is really quick to whip up & the ginger & sesame oil give this a fantastic Asian style. Served with simply baked fish it added all the flavour needed to produce a delicious fast meal. My ginger was quite young & spicy so this had a great gingery heat, so adjust to taste.

I am always looking for ways to elevate veggie dishes and this one didn't disappoint. I didn't have fresh coriander and fresh ginger so subbed for both ground ginger (a tablespoon) and ground corriander leaves (a teaspoon). Topped with a garnish of parsley. The sweetness of the carrot is complimented by the flavours from the toasted sesame seeds and lime juice which would make Bugs Bunny proud that he can have his carrots and corriander too!
