Carrot Salad with Thai Basil, Lime, and Roasted Sesame Oil

Modified: Jul 20, 2024 · Published: Dec 7, 2016

Jump to Recipe

Here is a very simple and light Thai-inspired carrot salad. Carrots pair really well with roasted sesame oil and lime juice. But adding Thai basil really takes this salad to the next level.

I love eating it as a main dish on a hot summer day. If you want something more substantial, I recommend serving the salad with falafel or a couple of slices of a light bread.

I’m craving this dish in winter as well, especially during the holiday season when irresistible sweets and desserts are ubiquitous. After having many treats I long for something fresh and hearty. On days like these, I like serving the carrot salad as a side along with a warm main meal such as a curry.
