This vibrant carrot salad features thin ribbons of sweet carrots tossed in a tangy vinaigrette with fresh herbs. Packed with beta-carotene and bursting with crunch and brightness, it’s a refreshing, nutrient-rich side that pairs perfectly with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled into ribbons using a vegetable peeler
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • For the Dressing:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons. Place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the chopped parsley, dill (if using), and green onion.
  3. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
  4. Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • The salad can be made a few hours ahead of time for a more flavorful result.
  • For added crunch, top with roasted nuts or seeds.
  • If you prefer a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey in the dressing.
