Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Fennel bulb
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Trim the fennel bulb, removing any tough outer layers and the stalks. Slice the fennel bulb very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Add the fennel to the bowl with the carrots.
Rinse the raisins under warm water to soften them, then drain and add to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot, fennel, and raisin mixture. Toss everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
