Cilantro carrot salad is a delicious salad, made with raw carrots and fresh cilantro. It’s healthy and delicious, and an easy way to fit whole foods eating into your menu plan!
Let’s start this last Monday of January with a simple and raw salad, featuring two of my favorite things: cilantro and carrots. I justify all the bacon fat I consume by balancing it with dishes like this one, because certainly that the more carrots you eat, the healthier you are right?
If you’re not a fan of cilantro, you’ll hate this carrot salad. I’d say make it with basil if you’d like, but the combination of the herbaceous cilantro and the sweet, crunchy carrot is unlike any other. Hoping some of my readers are both carrot and cilantro lovers.
The dressing is extremely easy to make, using ingredients I’m pretty sure you all have in your fridge and pantry.
So make this raw cilantro carrot salad as a side dish for your main meal, or use it as a sandwich addition.
However you decide to serve it, the flavors will definitely explode in your mouth!

This would be fun to make with purple carrots, wouldn’t it? I love recipes with simple ingredients that pack big flavor, and cilantro would add that punch.
I love cilantro and I love carrots so I’m pretty sure I’m going to love this salad!
Marnely! I have a secret pension for eating raw food. It helps balance out all the bad stuff I eat. I can’t wait to try this salad 🙂
