Method

  1. Peel the cucumbers and carrot, then slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and grate or julienne the carrot.

  2. Finely slice the green onions and combine them with the cucumber, carrot, chopped parsley, and sesame seeds in a large bowl.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, garlic paste, Sriracha, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a creamy dressing.

  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

  5. Serve immediately or chill for a few minutes for extra freshness.
