This easy shredded carrot salad<\/strong> features sweet raw carrots in all their glory tossed in a simple lemon honey dijon vinaigrette with parsley and green onions. A food processor makes easy work of shredding the carrots, but a vegetable peeler or box grater (or buying a bag of pre-shredded!) <\/em>also works well! This is a delicious French carrot salad, an easy side dish<\/strong> to make, and a unique change from lettuce-based or green salads. And it only takes 10 minutes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the taste of raw carrots but you know what? I’m not a fan of all the chewing. <\/strong><\/em>Sometimes you don’t want to work so hard, you know? Enter: shredded carrot salad. A classic French recipe, these carrots are grated small and thin, and when tossed with a simple vinaigrette dressing (no mayonnaise here!)<\/em>, they soften quite a bit to the perfect texture. It reminds me of coleslaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other day I was putzing around in my veggie garden area to start prepping for spring and found a bunch of carrots that had survived the winter! I knew I had to make something special with them, and I didn’t want to cook them to smithereens since I knew they would be extra sweet from the cold weather. This grated carrot salad was the perfect way to feature them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enjoy this salad as a side dish as you would any side salad. It would also be delicious in a veggie wrap sandwich<\/a> or pita sandwich<\/a>. It couldn’t be easier to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
