Spicy carrot salad recipe best salad best for a healthy life. Made with just three pantry staple ingredients under 10 mintues and is loaded with tons of vitamins and minerals.

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.

About this recipe

No one can resist picking these baby carrots from the store shelves.

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.

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
