FRENCH GRATED CARROT SALAD



French Grated Carrot Salad image

Want to work more carrots into your diet? Make up a batch of grated carrot salad every week. Standard fare in French cafes and charcuteries, this salad keeps well. If you have it handy, you'll be eating carrots every day. This classic version is made with a salad oil rather than stronger-tasting olive oil. You have a choice here, as extra-virgin olive oil has health benefits that canola oil may not. Still, choose a mild-tasting olive oil rather than a strong green one. For a twist on this version, try it curried, bolstered with capers, cumin and curry powder.

CLASSIC CARROT SALAD



Classic Carrot Salad image

Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8-ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup golden or brown raisins
1/4 cup mayonnaise or plain yogurt
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest, (optional)
6 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 4 cups), or 1 (10-ounce) bag of carrot matchsticks

  • In a large bowl, add pineapple, raisins, mayonnaise, honey and orange zest (if using). Mix until combined.
  • Add carrots to dressing and fold together all the ingredients using a rubber spatula or tongs.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, crisp carrots for the best flavor and texture. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Shred the carrots finely: This will help the salad absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your carrot salad. Some popular additions include raisins, nuts, seeds, and herbs.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors come together and make the salad more refreshing.
