Incredible, Simple French Carrot Salad
Report
Recipe video above. This carrot salad will surprise you - it's so simple, yet so incredibly delicious! I'd go as far as to say it's can't-stop-eating-it good (and that's a big call to make about a salad!) It's a slight riff on a classic French Carrot Salad (which is typically dressed much more lightly with just lemon and olive oil). At the risk of offending an entire nation - this is tastier! 😂

Ingredients
- 4 carrots , medium, peeled
- 2 green onion stems , finely sliced on the diagonal
- 1/4 cup parsley , finely chopped (optional)
Honey Dijon Mustard dressing
- 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice , fresh
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Grate the carrot use a standard box grater (or the shredder attachment of food processor). Aim for strands about 4cm/1.5" long.
- Place in a bowl with green onion and parsley.
- Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar. Pour over carrot, toss then serve.
Notes
- This salad gets nice and juicy like Coleslaw after about 30 minutes or so. I like it both ways - freshly dressed, and after it's been sitting around for a while!
- Substitution options:
- Green onion - 1/2 red onion or 1 eschallot / French onion finely sliced
- Dijon mustard - normal American or wholegrain mustard
- Lemon Juice - same amount of white or red wine vinegar, champagne or sherry vinegar
- Honey - maple syrup (same amount) or 1.5 tsp sugar
