Description
A warm and flavorful shredded carrot salad with carrot greens, offering a sweet and garlicky taste. Perfect as a vegan side dish or light main course.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
- Carrot leaf greens to taste (I used a small handful)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch or 2 1/2 cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded carrots and carrot greens, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
Notes
- Carrot greens are edible and nutritious, but their taste is quite strong and slightly bitter.
- Use them sparingly at first to see if you like the taste.
- This salad pairs well with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
