Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup ((or honey))
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 pound carrots (, peeled and shredded (about 4 heaping cups))
2 green onions (, chopped (light green and white parts))
1 handful fresh parsley (, chopped (about 1/4 cup packed))
1/2 cup raisins ((optional))
1/2 cup pecans (, roughly chopped (optional))

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and about 5 grinds of black pepper. Stir well.
  • Add in the shredded carrots, green onions, and parsley, and gently toss everything together, to make sure the dressing coats all of the vegetables evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You can add extra lemon juice if you want a more tart flavor, or a little more salt to punch up the flavor.
  • Stir in the raisins and pecans, if using, and serve. If you don't plan on serving this salad right away, don't add the pecans because they will get softer in the fridge. Add the pecans right before serving if you make this in advance.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

SWEET AND TANGY CARROT SALAD



Sweet and Tangy Carrot Salad image

My mother-in-law used to buy a salad much like this at a local farmer's market. After searching many places for a similar recipe, I finally found one in a spiral-bound fund raising cookbook published by a local church. After tweaking it some, I finally got the taste I was looking for!
