Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled into ribbons
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel your carrots into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Place them in a medium bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper. This is the dressing you are looking for!
- Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons.
- Toss everything gently until the carrots are evenly coated.
- Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the dressing to soften the ribbons slightly, creating that addictive texture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the memory!
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, Richard suggests adding a small pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing.
- If you do not have a vegetable peeler, you can use a mandoline set to a very thin slice.
- We find that letting this salad rest for 20 minutes gives the best ribbon texture.
