Carrot and Red Onion Salad image

This simple and refreshing salad is a quick side to just about any protein--poultry, beef, fish or plant-based. By varying the herbs and acid (swap the lemon juice for lime or wine, cider or rice vinegar) and adjusting the spice level, you can make this salad suit any meal. Leftovers will keep for a day or two in the refrigerator and are great tucked into a sandwich or tossed into a leafy green salad.
