Six-karat Salad

Ingredients

• 6 fresh carrots, grated (peeling is optional)
• 1 small zucchini, grated and pressed between paper towels to get rid of excess water
• ½ cup grated red cabbage
• ¼ raisins, soaked for ½ hour in warm water to plump up
• generous sprinkling of raw sesame seeds

Sweet carrot salad dressing

• ⅓ cup cold-pressed essential oils or extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp spicy curry powder
• ½ tsp fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped very fine

Procedures

1. Toss all veggies and sesame seeds together on a large, decorative plate.
2. Prepare the dressing.
3. Whip all ingredients together with a wire whisk until well-combined.
4. Pour over the carrot salad and serve immediately (no need to toss after adding the dressing).
