Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your fresh cucumber and carrot. Wash them thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler (like a julienne peeler or even a standard one), carefully shave the cucumber and carrot into long, thin strips, resembling noodles. This technique is key to the salad’s unique texture, making the vegetables delightfully crisp and tender.
Step 2
Let’s make the creamy and savory Ranch Dressing. In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, honey, minced garlic, finely chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined. Finally, stir in the finely chopped scallions for an extra layer of fresh flavor. This dressing adds a delightful richness to the salad.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the bright and zesty Lemon Dressing for a refreshing contrast. In a small jar or bottle with a secure lid, add the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the ingredients are emulsified and well combined. This method ensures the dressing stays perfectly mixed.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared cucumber and carrot noodles attractively on a serving plate or in bowls. Drizzle both the Ranch Dressing and the Lemon Dressing over the noodles according to your preference. The combination of the creamy ranch and the tangy lemon creates a wonderful balance of flavors that will make this salad irresistible. Enjoy this light yet satisfying noodle salad for a healthy and delicious meal!
