German Carrot Salad (Karottensalat)
Description
The German Carrot Salad (Karottensalat) uses julienned or grated carrots combined with yellow corn and minced onion, sometimes with chopped parsley for freshness. The dressing is an emulsified vinaigrette of sunflower oil, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
When combined and chilled for at least two hours, the carrots retain crunch while soaking up the mildly sweet and tangy dressing. The honey mustard vinaigrette adds a balance of sweetness and acidity that complements the natural carrot flavor and the sweetness of corn kernels. The dish can be served cold or at room temperature, making it a versatile salad for meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 3 carrot peeled and grated (use the julienne side of a box grater, a mandolin slicer, or food processor, large
- 1/2 cup corn yellow
- 2 tablespoons yellow onion finely minced
- For the Honey Mustard Vinaigrette:
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil (or neutral-flavored oil of choice)
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon honey (vegan: use agave or brown rice syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon parsley optional, chopped
Instructions
- Combine the carrots, corn, onion and parsley (if using) in a medium bowl. To make the vinaigrette, whisk the ingredients together until emulsified. Taste and adjust as desired. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and stir to thoroughly combine. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving, stirring at least twice to redistribute the vinaigrette. For best results, let the carrot salad sit at room temp for 10-15 minutes before serving. Can be served cold or at room temp.
