Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce

- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)

Instructions
Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini, carrots, and cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Stop peeling once you reach the seedy core of the zucchini and cucumber.
Place the vegetable ribbons in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable ribbons and gently toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and red chili flakes (if using) over the top and toss again lightly.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or appetizer. For best results, enjoy chilled.
