French Grated Carrot Salad
This grated carrot salad is a simple yet delicious French classic! Sweet, crunchy carrots tossed in a tangy lemon dressing make for a refreshing side dish that’s easy to prepare and loved by both kids and adults.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 carrots, raw and peeled
- 1/2 bunch of parsley
Dressing
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A handful of dried fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and shredding your carrots using a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, a handheld grater works just as well. Depending on your preference, you can choose between the large holes for a coarser texture or the fine holes for a finer shred. For this salad, I prefer and recommend a finer shred!
- Next, chop your parsley leaves. You can use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, or, to save time, add the parsley to a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely shredded.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the freshly grated carrots, chopped parsley, and, if using, dried fruit. Toss until thoroughly mixed.
- In another small bowl, blend the dressing ingredients—lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil—until thoroughly combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the carrot and parsley mixture. Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
