Carrot Salad


Description

This salad is substantial and comforting in a way that belies a base of nothing but carrots, bright and slightly sweet with a satisfying bite that’s somewhere between crunchy and chewy. The flavors are delicious without being demanding.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Carrots, julienned or grated
  • Radish, thinly sliced / shaved
  • fresh parsley
  • Some optional ingredients that are great added to this salad…
  • Fennel, thinly sliced / shaved
  • golden raisins
  • toasted pistachios
  • For the Vinaigrette
  • 1 tsp grainy mustard
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • touch of honey
  • toasted cumin seeds
  • toasted fennel seeds

Instructions

  1. Grate a few carrots on the wide edge of a box grater. If you have great knife skills and the counter space for a cutting board, julienned is nice, too.
  2. Add some thinly sliced radishes and/or julienned fennel, if you’re feeling fancy.
  3. Combine the ingredients for the vinaigrette and toss with the carrot mixture.
  4. If you’d like, top with some golden raisins, toasted pistachios and lots of parsley.
