Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the carrots into thin diagonal slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the sliced carrots to the boiling water and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Step 3
Drain the carrots immediately and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside to cool completely.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 5
Place the cooled carrots in a large mixing bowl or sealable container. Pour the marinade over the carrots, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl or seal the container tightly. Refrigerate the marinated carrots for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 7
Before serving, toss the carrots to distribute the marinade evenly. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy as a side dish or salad topping.
