Cucumber & Carrot Salad

This Asian-infused salad is a light, refreshing, welcome addition to any meal. I love serving it alongside salmon, but it would go great with a number of main dishes. It comes together in minutes thanks to two handy kitchen tools. Here they are:

The OXO Mandoline Slicer and Julienne Peeler!

Use the mandoline on setting 3 to get those cucumber slices nice and thin, but to also have them retain some crunch.

Then, julienne the carrots. I hold the carrot in one hand, then pull the peeler away from me. You can play around and make long, noodle-like strips, or short ones.

Whisk the dressing, then pour it on top of your beautiful, crisp veggies.

Toss salad and place into serving bowls.

Enjoy!
