Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 carrots (pending size)
- 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon juice of 1/4 lemon
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. Cut them into 2 or 3 chunks, depending on their size. This is to make the shredding easier.
- Sit the bottom of the grater on top of a cutting board (to make it stable). Place the carrot pieces at an angle on the larger hole side of the grater (this will ensure longer grates of carrot), and grate. Repeat until you've shredded all the carrots.
- Make the dressing: Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, and stir well with a spoon.
- Prepare the carrot salad: Transfer the freshly grated carrots to a big bowl, pour the dressing, and combine well. Serve with extra black pepper on top.
Notes
Tip! Adjust the amount of dressing as desired! This recipe is made for a very subtle zesty taste, so you can easily combine it with other ingredients and salads.
Shredded carrots last 5-7 days in the fridge if stored properly. Store in an airtight container or reusable airtight plastic bag.
