If you let this salad sit for half an hour or so. the salt will help to soften the carrots and release their juices as a slight dressing. YUM!

Great recepies. I am born vegetarian turned in to once in a while non-vegetarian. I hated cooking and my big excuse for not cooking was ‘I don’t have bigger kitchen’ till I watched chef AJ and you now. My kitchen is full fledged, got all tools needed, 2 weeks ago added instant pot. I live in 2bed condo so it’s not that cramped.
I live by myself so no cooking no problem. You both inspired me to cook. I found you from chef AJ’s YouTube video making plant based cheese. I did make carrot salad similar to this before. We Indians (Asia) make lot of lentil based soups. I am starting my oil free (almost) diet and planning to lose 10 lb by March 3rd week. I am now 128, nener crossed 135.
Thank you for sharing your recepies
Happy
