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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil (or a mix of the two), or use 2 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk and 4 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled and grated
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate before serving (I recommend making this 30 minutes to 1 hour ahead, then tossing again).
