Ingredients
  

Salad Base
  • 4 medium carrots, preferably rainbow or orange Fresh and firm carrots are essential for texture.
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
Garnish
  • Fresh herbs (optional) such as parsley or mint For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the carrots thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, create ribbons by gently gliding the peeler along the carrot.
  2. Place the ribbons on a cutting board to catch them as they fall.
Mix Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Toss Salad
  1. In a large bowl, place the carrot ribbons and drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Garnish & Serve
  1. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top and serve immediately for the best crunch.

Notes

Serve salad right after dressing for optimal crunch. Customize with nuts or seeds. Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 2 days.
