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.
