Raw Asian Carrot Avocado Salad Recipe | Solluna by Kimberly Snyder (2024)

Today’s recipe,Raw Asian Carrot Avocado Salad, is a great accompaniment to any social gathering or event you have planned for this summer. It’s also great to munch on at home or to pack for work. This dish is packed with beauty nutrients with an Asian flair.

And one of the best things about it? The crunch! Texture is important with foods as it makes it more satisfying. This crunchy salad will hold well for packing, and give your jaw a workout as you fill up on cleansing fiber-filled veggies :).

So what’s so great about the main ingredient?

Carrots

This bright colored orange root contains high amounts of Vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, and as you may have heard over the years, is great for your eyesight. Carrots also have the ability to increase the health of your skin— reducing the signs of premature aging.

The lovely and powerful carrot also boosts your immune system, improves digestion, detoxifies the body (which we all have to put effort into doing on an ongoing basis!) and boosts oral health. They also provide a variety of other vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Because carrots grow relatively easily and are very versatile in a number of dishes, they tend to be one of the most widely used and enjoyed vegetables in the world. They aretypically orange in color, but there are a variety of colors to incorporate whenever you spy them— including purple, white, yellow, and red.

Most of us (and that includes our little ones), like the crunchy texture and sweet taste, which makes this fibrous veggie a great way to take the edge off hunger, while providing tons of nutrients.

Avocados

Avocados are Mother Nature’s creamy gift to all of us! Avocados contain vitamins A, C, E, and K and are full of antioxidants that help protect your skin from any environmental damage.

Even though avocados are a “good” raw plant fat, remember that all fat should be eaten in moderation. Half of a large/medium avocado or one small one a day is enough. I also recommend avoiding hard nuts, or skipping them altogether when you are eating avocado— as the combination can be too heavy and dense in fat. Some seeds, as in the hemp seeds in recipe, are okay to combine as they tend to be less dense upon digestion as harder nuts.

There are several ways you can use avocados, from snacks, blended into dressings in lieu of oils to full meals (including smoothies), or as a highlight to any dish.

Let’s get into THIS dish at the moment though!

With all this talk about keeping our bodies healthy from our sight to our skin, let’s not waste anymore time Beauties- get dicing and reap the benefits! ;)
