3) Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well blended.
4) In another bowl, place the prepared cucumber and carrot ribbons. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure the ribbons are evenly coated.
5) Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
6) Once chilled, give the salad a final mix, transfer it to a serving dish, and serve immediately. Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish as a refreshing side or light meal!
