Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium medium carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin is recommended
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed is best!
  • ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper adjust to preference
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling your medium-sized carrots. Then, using a grater or food processor, grate them until finely shredded.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrots. Pour the dressing over the carrots and toss well to ensure every strand is coated.
  4. Add the chopped fresh parsley to the salad and give it one last toss to incorporate.
  5. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and enjoy!

Notes

For a twist, consider adding shredded cabbage or sliced bell peppers. Prepare just before serving for optimal freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
