Instructions

  1. Step 1: Grate the carrots with a standard box grater or the shredder attachment of a food processor. Aim for strands about 4 cm (1 1/2 inches) long.

  3. Step 3: Shake the dressing ingredients in a jar. Pour the dressing over the carrots, toss, then serve.

Notes

Substitutions and serving

  • Use finely sliced red onion, French onion or shallot in place of the green onion.

  • Swap Dijon mustard for American or wholegrain mustard.

  • Use the same amount of white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, champagne vinegar or sherry vinegar instead of lemon juice.

  • Replace the honey with the same amount of maple syrup or 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.

  • The salad gets juicy after about 30 minutes; it can be served freshly dressed or after resting.
