✨ No waste. No leftovers. Just BlixSam Lekker! 🥔🧀🔥BlixSam's Honey-Lemon Carrot Ribbon Salad with Feta & Nuts
Fresh, vibrant, and packed with BlixSam flavour!
 
⭐ Ingredients
3–4 large carrots, peeled into long ribbons
Juice of ½ fresh lemon
1½–2 tbsp honey
1 tsp BlixSam Lemon Leaf Seasoning
½ tsp BlixSam Omni Spice All Purpose Seasoning
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup mixed nuts, roughly chopped (walnuts, almonds or pecans)
 
🥄 Method
1️⃣ Prepare the carrots
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into long ribbons.
Gently roll the ribbons into loose spirals and place them in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to help them hold their shape. Do not freeze solid.
2️⃣ Make the dressing
In a small bowl, combine:
Fresh lemon juice
Honey
BlixSam Lemon Leaf Seasoning
BlixSam Omni Spice All Purpose Seasoning
Whisk until smooth and well combined.
3️⃣ Assemble the salad
Arrange the carrot ribbons on a serving platter.
Sprinkle over the crumbled feta.
Drizzle generously with the honey-lemon dressing.
 
Finish with the chopped nuts and, if desired, a light sprinkle of BlixSam Lemon Leaf Seasoning for an extra burst of citrus flavour.
 
🌶️ Serving Suggestion
This fresh salad pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, pork belly, gammon, braai chops, steak, or any rich braai meal. The bright citrus dressing beautifully balances smoky, savoury flavours.
 
💡 BlixSam Tip
Lightly toast the nuts before adding them for extra crunch and flavour.
 
✨ It's BlixSam's Lekker!
