This is a simple, delicious and nutritious way to use carrots, even those which have become a bit soft. Ready in 5 minutes and I have never met anyone who didn't like it.
This is not a sweet salad; the bit of sugar only helps to balances out the lemon juice, and the oil helps your body absorb the vitamins. You can experiment with adding raisins, dried cranberries, drained pineapple chunks, chopped nuts or any shredded veg you like, but I enjoy this salad just the way it is. An excellent side dish for grilled meats or really, almost anything else.
Ingredients:
3-4 medium-sized carrots
Juice of 1/2 large lemon
1/2 TBS vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. white sugar
Salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
How to make it:
Peel and grate the carrots into a medium mixing bowl. Do not drain if they are juicy.
In a cup, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, oil, and sugar; pour over carrots.
Add salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
