Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium raw carrots crunchy, naturally sweet, and packed with fiber
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar adds zing and helps wake up the whole bowl
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil makes the salad feel satisfying and helps absorb fat-soluble nutrients
  • 1 teaspoon salt essential for flavor enhancement
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley adds freshness
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds adds flavor and crunch
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin use sparingly to avoid overpowering
  • 1 teaspoon honey for a touch of sweetness, if desired

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the carrots, if desired.
  2. Shred the carrots using a box grater, food processor, or julienne peeler.
  3. In a bowl, combine lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), olive oil, and salt. Toss well with the shredded carrots.
  4. Let the salad sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon or salt as necessary.

Notes

For best results, use cold carrots. Allow the salad to rest briefly after dressing to enhance flavor. Adjust seasoning and try different herbs or add-ins for variety. Store in a glass container for freshness.
