Peel 1 lb carrots, ribbon them, and add to a bowl with a couple generous pinches of salt & let sit for 10-15 mins to soften up.
Thinly slice 2 Persian cucumbers ( or ½ English cucumber) into half moon, 3-4 green onions, and finely dice a large handful Fresh cilantro. Add to your salad bowl.
Squeeze the juice of half a large lemon.
In a heat-safe bowl, add ½ tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1.5 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and ½ tsp chili flakes.
Warm 5 tbsp toasted sesame oil over low-medium heat, then carefully pour it over the chili mixture. Let it bloom and cool for 10 minutes.
Toss everything really well with a fork (or your hands!), taste & adjust with salt, more lemon, or whatever else you like.
