Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 pound (450 g) carrots, peeled, ends trimmed, and finely shredded
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- salt, to taste
- 4-5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, more or less to taste
- ginger, grated superfine (almost to a puree), to taste
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Then add lemon juice and ginger to taste. Be careful with the ginger. It has a very strong fragrance that can easily overpower the salad. Knead the salad a little with your hands to encourage some of the carrot juice to leak out.

Cover and leave the salad to marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. This salad tastes best paired with grilled meats or as part of a mixed salad bowl.
