Bell Pepper and Korean-Style Carrot Salad

A quick salad with zesty carrots and sweet pepper! This bell pepper and Korean-style carrot salad is made from a minimal number of ingredients. There's no dressing as such, so you could partly count it among the dishes that are healthier than, say, salads dressed with mayonnaise. The dish turns out very vibrant, both in looks and in taste. A juicy bell pepper and Korean-style carrot salad makes a wonderful accompaniment to plain boiled rice, fluffy pilaf, ordinary buckwheat, or tender mashed potatoes.

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients you'll need for the salad: Korean-style carrots, sweet bell pepper, a little soy sauce, fresh parsley, and white sesame seeds.
Step 2:

Put the carrots in the bowl you'll make the salad in. Trim the stem and seeds from a clean bell pepper. Cut the juicy flesh into medium-thick strips and add the pepper to the carrots.
Step 3:

Wash and shake out the parsley leaves, chop them finely, and add them to the salad.
Step 4:

Salt the salad to taste, keeping in mind that the Korean-style carrots are already salted, add a little soy sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and mix. The bell pepper and Korean-style carrot salad is ready to serve.

Carrots are a very affordable ingredient, and the fact that you can turn them into such a wonderful snack as Korean-style carrots is a real bonus. Korean-style carrots are made in all sorts of ways: with fried onion, or with lemon juice and honey instead of vinegar and sugar. Even a seemingly indispensable ingredient like garlic has alternatives: asafoetida (a ground resin with an onion-garlic flavor) or granulated garlic (which isn't as sharp as fresh). By making Korean-style carrots, any home cook gets not only an inexpensive, luxurious snack but also a wonderful base ingredient for countless salads with all kinds of components. In this case, it's bell pepper! It adds plenty of juiciness and beautifully complements the carrots. I'd especially point out the sesame, a product rich in calcium, so don't skip it — add it whenever you can.
