Ingredients
- 6 whole carrots get the colorful ones!
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 scallions finely sliced, green and white parts
- 1/4 cup parsley fresh, chopped
for the dressing-
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or granulated sugar or even honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a small dry pan (no oil) over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds in a single layer.
- Swirl the pan every 15–30 seconds to prevent burning. Watch for color change – they will turn a light golden brown and smell fragrant in 3–5 minutes.
- Remove and transfer to a plate to cool completely.
- Peel and finely slice carrots, using a mandoline slicer. Place into a large bowl.
- Add in cooled toasted almonds, sliced scallions, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together dijon mustard, vinegar, sugar, oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour over salad ingredients and toss to coat. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours*.
