Notes
- Spread carrots in a colander and use a paper towel to press out the excess moisture so the salad stays crispy.
- Ensure carrots are thoroughly washed and peeled. Dry them before cutting to improve how the dressing coats the salad. Use a Y-peeler or mandoline slicer for uniformly thin carrot ribbons that marinate and eat well.
- Spread carrots in a colander and use a paper towel to press out the excess moisture so the salad stays crispy.
- Whisk the dressing vigorously to create an emulsion, ensuring the oil and lemon juice blend well for a coherent flavor throughout the salad.
- For a milder garlic flavor, remove the garlic clove from the dressing before tossing with the carrots, or mince it very finely for a more integrated flavor.
