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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Rinse the raisins under warm water to soften them, then drain and add to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the carrot, fennel, and raisin mixture. Toss everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
