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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves, then add them to the bowl with the shredded carrots.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the shredded carrots and herbs. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the carrots are well coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Add the slivered almonds to the salad and gently toss again to combine.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend before serving.
