I felt my carrot salad was missing a sweet aspect and ginger goes so perfectly with carrots. This syrup is super simple to make and stores in your fridge for about a month.

The syrup is medicinal by itself (do a quick internet search on its effects on testosterone levels) and combined with refined sugar it is contributing to my macro goals. I add a tablespoon or two of this syrup to my carrot salad. It also goes great in any dish I would add sugar and spice.

Ginger Syrup:
  • Skin and thinly slice one large root of ginger. (Mine is typically 8x6" at the longest points)
  • Boil one cup of water with one cup of sugar. (Or equal parts)
  • Add the ginger to the boil for ten minutes stirring occasionally uncovered.
  • Turn off the heat, cover, and let the ginger steep for thirty minutes.
  • Strain the ginger into a mason jar or air tight container.
Carrot salad tip: I prep large juicing carrots a week in advance because they make nice wide carrot strips. I also use MCT oil for convenience and texture.

Ginger and sugar sounds really good with the carrot salad! I rarely eat the carrot salad because I don’t like sour things, but your idea just might do the trick! I am gonna try it with my favorite ginger, it’s like eating candy!
