This carrot cucumber slaw is a more exciting way to eat your vegetables when you’re in a rut or want to experiment. Sweet carrots and crisp cucumbers pair up to form the foundation for a prepared salad with Asian-inspired flavors. This tangy, sweet, and vibrant side dish may become one of your favorites. 

Variations and Serving Suggestions

  • For a more colorful salad, add ½-1 cup of shredded purple cabbage or slaw mix.
  • For a less sweet flavor, use shredded broccoli stalks or broccoli slaw mix instead of carrots.
  • For spicy heat, add 1-2 teaspoons of Sriracha.
  • For a delicious lunch, try this salad in a whole-grain wrap. Add feta cheese, mozzarella, or sliced turkey to the wrap for protein. 
  • Serve this with fish or tofu for a light but filling meal that’s packed with protein, healthy fat, and fiber.
