French Shredded Carrot Salad Recipes

FRENCH CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• To prepare the carrots: You can grate them on the large holes of a box grater, or use short strokes with a julienne peeler, or process them in a food processor fitted with a grating attachment. You'll end up with about 3 cups grated carrots.
• Place the carrots in a medium serving bowl. Add the chives, parsley and optional chickpeas to the bowl.
• To make the dressing, whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until completely blended.
• Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and stir until the mixture is evenly coated in dressing. For best flavor, allow the salad to marinate for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again before serving. This salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days.

CLASSIC FRENCH CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, mustard, and olive oil together until the dressing is completely blended. Stir the dressing into the shredded carrots. Sprinkle the carrot salad with the salt, pepper, and parsley, if using. Toss the salad again to blend the seasonings and chill it for 30 minutes before serving.
• My Note: Sometime I added some golden raisins and walnuts. It's like carrot cake without the cake! with out the mango.
• It's important to grate the carrots finely. We can get grated carrots at salad bars here, but when you make this salad, you have to use a fine grate. It makes a wonderful difference. When combined with beets and celery root, this is called the Parisian salad, and served at most bistrots. And so good for you. Russians do finely grated carrot salads too, and Moroccans.
