I started making this vibrant sesame carrot salad when I had leftover carrot scraps from prep of my vegan carrot hot dogs. When I made it for others, they often told me it deserved a starring role, not just something to be served as an afterthought. I totally agree! So, here’s the official (yummy!) recipe.
