Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Pears
- 2 large Carrots
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the pears and carrots thoroughly.
Peel the carrots and trim the ends. Using a julienne peeler or mandoline slicer, cut the carrots into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Core the pears and slice them into thin matchsticks (leave the skin on for added texture and color). Add the pear slices to the bowl with the carrots.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and set aside.
Grate the ginger using a microplane or fine grater. You will need around 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and pear mixture. Add the chopped mint leaves, and toss everything together gently to ensure the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the slaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve the Pear Carrot Slaw chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light salad.
