Ingredients

  • ½ Teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup oil
  • chives chopped, fresh to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare your carrots. If they are garden fresh organic, cut off greens and ends. Wash and scrub to get rid of mud. If you use store bought, peel if you don't know where they came from (because of pesticides).
  2. Place carrots into food processor to shred or use a grater to do that manually.
  3. Prepare the Dressing by combining vinegar, mustard, salt and black pepper in a small bottle or salad shaker. Then add oil at the end and shake again.
  4. Place shredded carrots into a mixing bowl.
  5. Sprinkle dressing over your shredded carrot. Use as much as you like.
  6. Sprinkle cut chives over carrot and dressing and serve up room temperature or cooled.

Notes

  • Servings are smaller in size because the salad is served with a main course meal as a side dish.
