Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh chives thoroughly under running water. Trim off any tough ends and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm long. Cutting them to a manageable size ensures they mix well with the dressing and are easy to eat.
Step 2
Peel the carrot, wash it, and then thinly julienne it. This will add a lovely color and a crisp texture to the salad.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the prepared chives and julienned carrots.
Step 4
Sprinkle the garlic flakes over the chives and carrots. This adds a delightful crunch and savory aroma. Feel free to adjust the amount to your liking.
Step 5
Add 20g of vinegar to the bowl for a tangy kick. If you enjoy a stronger sour flavor, you can increase this to 25g.
Step 6
Pour in the 40g of Oriental dressing. Gently toss the ingredients together with your hands. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the chives mushy. The goal is to coat everything evenly.
Step 7
Finish by sprinkling 2 shakes of sesame seeds over the salad for an extra nutty touch. Your delicious and refreshing Diet Chive Salad is ready! ✌✌ It’s perfect as a side dish, a light salad, or even with a bowl of rice.
