Spiced Carrot Salad with Sesame

Carrots should appear on our menus as often as possible, as they cleanse and heal the entire body. They also have a beneficial effect on glands, eyes, brain, and bones, and improve digestive functions. They are an excellent addition to vegetable soups and one-pot meals, but if we want to make the most of their nutritional value, its best to enjoy them raw in a salad.
