So the other day i was making my cucumber and carrot salad and i am gonna share it to you. This is a healthy dish but at the same time delicious. It could be a slaw coz i added cabbage to it. But it's my recipe so it's a salad for me :D or pickle... :D
for my carrots and cucumber, i used this tool to come up with my noodle like shredded veggies.
moving on...
in a cup, i put in 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and i dissolved it in a cup of white vinegar then added about half a teaspoon of nutmeg powder. 3 tablespoons of sugar may sound a lot but were looking at 3 cups of veggies here so it's fine. :) you can add a dash of salt to taste. no need to blanch your veggies coz the acidity of the vinegar will sort of cook the veggies a little bit. just enough. then put the mixture in a big mixing bowl and add the veggies. using your hands, make sure you wash first, coat the veggies with the vinegar mixture evenly. once everything is coated take the veggies out and store it. you can store it with the vinegar mixture or you can leave it out. that's it. it's like pickle/salad. it goes well with chicken so i usually put it in a tortilla wrap with fried or grilled chicken breast. great for breakfast, snack or even lunch. :)
i hope i shared a good thing here. something you could enjoy and make eating healthy delicious for you. :)

a cup of shredded carrots

a cup of shredded cucumber.
now it is important that when you do the cucumber,
turn it around as you go.
and make sure you don't go as far as the seeds
coz we only need the meat part.
