Cucumbers – Any kind will do, my favorite are fresh pickling cucumbers if you have them. No peeling necessary!Carrots – Again, no peeling necessary. Any type of carrots will work and you can even use rainbow carrots for a pop of color.Celery – With a mild flavor and hearty crunch factor, celery is the perfect addition to this light and crunchy salad. Homemade dressing – A simple and tangy-sweet dressing coats all the crunchy goodness in this salad. It’s made up of sesame and olive oils, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic powder and sea salt.
