Carrot Salad Recipe
Description
The grated carrots provide a crisp base flavored by the minced garlic. The dressing balances acidity from apple cider vinegar with sweetness from honey, complemented by ground coriander’s warm spice and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Tossing the carrots and dressing evenly coats the salad, which is enhanced by fresh chopped parsley for herbaceous brightness.
Serving the salad cold preserves its refreshing texture. For developed flavor, letting it rest in the fridge for an hour allows the ingredients to meld further. This carrot salad is a light, crisp side that pairs well with a variety of main courses.

- 1 lb carrot
- 1 clove garlic minced
Carrot Salad Dressing

- Prepare the Carrots: Peel and shred the carrots using the large shredding holes on a grater, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic to the carrots.

- Combine the Salad: Pour the dressing over the carrots and garlic. Toss everything together until evenly coated. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
