๐ฅ Retinol Carrot Salad โ Fresh, Asian-Style, and Glow-Boosting
Miss Ageless
Thereโs something about this Retinol Carrot Salad that just makes me feelโฆ young again. A fresh raw carrot salad rich in beta carotene, healthy fats and skin supporting nutrients. Maybe itโs the refreshing crunch, maybe itโs the cleansing sensation after every bite. Or maybe itโs simply knowing that the body is getting a powerful shot of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with no effort at all.I call it Retinol Salad because it truly works on the skin โ from the inside out.
Peel carrots into thin ribbons with a sharp vegetable peeler and place in a large bowl.
Chop nuts and slice chili; add to the carrot bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together: black sesame, maple syrup, both vinegars, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, olive oil, and crushed garlic.
Pour dressing over carrot ribbons and toss well until fully coated.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors develop (highly recommended!).
Serve chilled โ ideally with chopsticks for the full Asian vibe ๐

๐ฌ Personal Note
If you manage to wait that one hour before eating, youโll thank me. The marinade works wonders, and the salad becomes absolutely addictive. The first time I made it, I finished the entire bowl myself ๐ Pro tip: always double the batch!
