Ingredients
  

  • 3 large cucumbers (about 2½ pounds), washed, dried and cut into “noodles” or ribbons
  • 3 medium carrots, shredded or julienned (about 6 ounces, may substitute pre-shredded carrots)
  • 3 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos (may substitute tamari if not Whole30)
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp ground ginger (such as Simply Organic)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (such as Simply Organic)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 ½ tsp. black or white sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Make the dressing: combine coconut aminos (or tamari), toasted sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ground ginger, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk well. Taste and add salt as needed. Set aside or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Prepare the cucumber noodles: wash and dry the cucumbers. Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, cut them into noodle-like strands or ribbons.
  • Assemble the salad: add the spiralized cucumbers, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions to a large bowl.
  • Serve: when ready to eat, pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
