Carrot salad, or carottes rapées, can be found in just about every take-out shop in France. The key to its success is lying the carrots on their sides and using the thinnest shredding blade your food processor has.

Ingredients

Carrots

¾ pound(s), large variety, peeled

Fresh parsley

1 Tbsp, flat-leaf, finely chopped

Fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp

Dijon mustard

2 tsp

Table salt

¼ tsp

Black pepper

tsp

Extra virgin olive oil

3½ tsp

Instructions

  1. Cut carrots to fit horizontally in feed tube of food processor. Stack carrots in feed tube and grate using thin shredding blade (or use large holes of box grater) to create long, thin shreds. You will need about 3 cups. Transfer carrots to salad bowl and add parsley.
  2. To make dressing, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil in thin, steady stream.
  3. Pour dressing over carrot mixture and toss until mixed well.
  4. Serving size: 1/2 cup
