Carrot Salad

Came home after work today after a rather disappointing 'dinner' of a sausage encrusted with potato cubes and deep fried. Dinner, if on a stick, is hardly ever satisfying.
So, I came back determined to eat something I had prepared by myself. Also, I wanted something light, and healthy, considering all the vending machine/junk food that has been my lunch for the past two weeks. saw this recipe online today for Carrot Salad, but I don't have olive oil at home, since my mother never uses it, and I didn't like the sound of raw crushed garlic in a salad. So, I made some alterations and came up with my very own Carrot Salad:




It was the perfect thing for tonight, since it was fast and easy, and it had the added perk of letting me practice my knife skills. It's basically carrots cut up into matchsticks, lemon juice to taste, pinch of salt, bit of sugar, and a touch of sesame oil, stir it all up, and eat. yum. it's tangy, sweet, crunchy, and with just a hint of smoky, fragrant sesame oil. am leaving a bunch in the fridge to see how it holds up, because I'm thinking of bringing some to work. Am utterly sick of the crap we keep making do with every day.
And just as a side note: I love this picture! haha.
