You Will Need

Labelled ingredients needed to make a shredded carrot salad.

Choose Your Carrots Wisely

As the carrots are well and truly the star in this shredded carrot salad it is important to choose wisely, if you can try, and buy organic carrots or ones that look tender, sweet and juicy and not dry.

How to Make It

Step 1 - Make Your Vinaigrette

In a clean glass jar put in your lemon, lime and olive oil, season with salt and pepper.

Shake until emulsified then taste and if it tastes too tart for you then add a dash of honey or maple syrup.

Either in your food processor.

 Serving Suggestions  🍽

I loved this salad with our Giouvetsi (a Greek beef and orzo stew) but it is also great curries such as a madras or rogan josh. You could also serve it with roast pork, beef brisket, steak, fish or buy a store-bought chicken for a quick last-minute dinner.

Tips and Questions

Can I Make it Ahead?

Most definitely, in fact, it will taste even better as the carrots would have soaked up the delicious lemon flavours.

How Long Can I Store Shredded Carrot Salad?

This will keep your stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for at least 3-4 days.

Suitable Diets

For those with special dietary requirements, this shredded carrot salad is paleo, vegan, vegetarian, gluten and dairy-free.
