Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Instructions
Wash and peel the large carrots. Using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating attachment, finely grate the carrots into a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the grated carrots.
Pour the dressing over the grated carrots and chopped parsley. Toss everything gently until the carrots are fully coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice or pepper as desired.
Serve chilled as a refreshing and flavorful side dish.
