Steps

1. To begin making the Carrot Ribbon Salad with Asian Sesame Dressing, first trim the ends of the carrots.
2. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the outer skin and discard it.
3. Keep peeling around the carrots, so that you get thin, long strips or ribbons.
4. In a small bowl or a glass bottle, whisk together the oils, vinegar, honey, black pepper, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt and red chilli. Make sure that everything is mixed properly.
5. In a salad bowl, toss together the carrot ribbons, sliced onion, coriander, mint and the above mixture.
6. Keep aside for 5 minutes and then garnish it with the sesame seeds.
7. Serve Carrot Ribbon Salad With Asian Sesame Dressing with Broccoli Pesto pasta for a light weekday dinner.
