Shaved Cucumber And Carrot Salad Recipe

Updated on March 8, 2019

Shaved Cucumber and Carrot Salad – A healthy salad with a lemon ginger dressing that is just perfect for any time of the year especially during winters.

I have always wanted to use the pink Delhi carrots in salads, as I like the sweet taste of it when compared to the regular ones.

But I get it only during the winter season and that too very rarely which always gets cooked into halwa.

The ginger added to the dressing adds a nice punch and also aids in easy digestion and help keeps the cold at bay during the winter season.

I have just shared an easy and fuss free salad recipe that I make at home.

You can add any fruits or other vegetables that you have at hand and instead of the dressing in this recipe, you can add my Eggless Mayonnaise to make it as a wholesome meal in itself.
