Ingredients
  

3 medium carrots, julienned

1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 small cucumber, julienned

2 green onions, finely chopped

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons sugar

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 fresh chili, sliced (for heat)

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the vegetables: peel the carrots and julienne them into thin strips. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and cucumber.

    In a large bowl, combine the julienned carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, and chopped green onions. Toss them gently to mix.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

        Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the vegetables are coated.

          Allow the salad to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to enhance the flavor.

            Before serving, sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and add fresh chili slices if desired for an extra kick.

              Toss lightly and serve immediately or chill for half an hour for a refreshing cool dish.
