Classic French Carrot Salad

An authentic carrot salad straight out of a French bistro.

  • 16oz orange carrots, peeled and grated 
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 cup oil

Add grated carrots and chopped cilantro to a bowl, and add salt. Mix. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice through cumin. Slowly add oil to emulsify. Add dressing (you may not need all of it, in which case use the rest of the dressing on bread or crudités!) to carrots/cilantro. Taste for salt. Best served room temperature.
