Raw Carrot Salad

Raw carrot salad is a simple, healthy, and refreshing side dish packed with vitamins and fiber. This recipe is quick to prepare and perfect for a light lunch or a healthy addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound carrots, peeled and shredded or julienned
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots and either shred them using a box grater or julienne them with a vegetable peeler or mandoline.
2. Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded carrots, parsley, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
3. Toss to coat: Gently toss the salad until the carrots are evenly coated with the dressing.
4. Serve immediately or chill: Serve the salad immediately for a crisp texture, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for a colder, more refreshing salad.

Notes

For a zestier salad, add a squeeze of lemon juice along with the apple cider vinegar.
Toasted nuts, seeds (like sunflower or pumpkin), or dried cranberries can be added for extra flavor and texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your liking. If you prefer a less sweet salad, omit it altogether.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
