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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the grated carrots.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the grated carrots and chopped parsley. Toss everything gently until the carrots are fully coated with the dressing.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Before serving, toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice or pepper as desired.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a refreshing and flavorful side dish.
