Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding disc, shred the carrots into thin strips. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves, then add them to the bowl with the shredded carrots.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the shredded carrots and herbs. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the carrots are well coated with the dressing.
Add the slivered almonds to the salad and gently toss again to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend before serving.
