Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 6 pieces radishes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and use a box grater or julienne peeler to shred them into thin strips. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Rinse and trim the radishes, then slice them thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Add the radish slices to the bowl with the carrots.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the carrots and radishes in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette dressing.
Pour the vinaigrette over the carrot and radish mixture and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed.
Let the salad rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
