Spicy Carrot Salad

The spicy carrot salad recipe is best to serve with everything. It is made with just three pantry staple ingredients and tastes delicious.

I laughed when my son said he wished to be a bunny when we were at the fresh produce aisle in our nearby store, pointing towards the tons of baby carrots. Like this spicy carrot salad, he loves the carrots from the bottom of his heart.

We were addicted to baby carrot's juiciness, crunchiness, and color. The store employees, too, are knowledgeable about keeping these vibrant-colored baby carrots next to green leafy lettuce, which makes it more attractive.

My son wishes to munch baby carrots with mayo; that is also an excellent choice. But in this spicy carrot salad, I have added lemon juice for a hearty twist.

So, apart from its color and taste, its texture is excellent. And munching on crunchy vegetable salads like this keeps me active.

Just replace your store-bought junkie food with this super refreshing spicy carrot jalapeno carrot salad for a healthy life.

I love to have this salad along with Paneer Sandwich.

How to Make Spicy Carrot Salad

This is so much easier to put together, just under 10 minutes. 

The ingredients

Carrot. Use regular long carrots or baby carrots. The baby carrots are the best for this recipe. These are juicy and sweet and perfectly complement the spiciness of jalapeno.

Jalapeno. The spice source in this salad. Seed them entirely if you cannot tolerate its heat. I recommend leaving a few seeds on; the mild heat works like magic and makes you ask this spicy carrot salad for more.

Lemon juice. Lemon juice brings all the ingredients together and makes the salad very refreshing. Feel free to use fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice. The lime juice is the best substitution here.

The recipe direction

Prepping. Chop carrots into bite-sized small cubes, diced jalapeno. Seed jalapeno, if you want it less spicy.

Combine. Add chopped baby carrots, jalapeno, and lemon juice with salt in a bowl. Give it a gentle mix. Serve Baby Carrot Salad as an appetizer or with the bread of your choice.

How to serve?

Serve as a healthy snack or appetizer. It is excellent when served with,

• Avocado paratha
• Egg fried rice Indian style

Storing Ideas

Refrigerate. Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container. This is good to use up to 3 days.

Freeze. Store them in air-sealed containers or bags and store them in the freezer. These are good to use up to 1 month. To thaw, leave them in the refrigerator overnight or for 8 hours. Or put the container in a water bowl until it is completely melted.
