In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, and sugar until smooth.

Add in the carrot ribbons and minced garlic. Toss gently until the carrots are fully coated in the dressing.

Sprinkle in the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Mix again to combine.

Let the salad sit for at least 20 minutes (or longer in the fridge) to allow flavors to deepen.

Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your glow from within!
