Healthier than the classic mayo-based recipes, this vegan carrot salad features a delicious tahini dressing that gets a bit of kick from sriracha. Gluten-free, oil-free, and just 15 minutes of prep.

Wash and peel the carrots. Shred them using the grater attachment of a food processor or with a box grater.

Notes
Carrot Raisin Salad is best eaten fresh. If carrying it to a party, and including cilantro or parsley, either sprinkle the herbs on top (don't fold in), or wait and add them just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
