This Grated Carrot Salad is a very common side dish in France. It is simple but does involve some hard yakka
(Kiwi for work). You have to peel and
then grate your carrots – the grating takes a lot of effort.
Prepare your dressing in a little
jar so you can shake it together well. I
used 2 spoons of Dijon mustard to 1 of Golden Syrup (you could use maple
syrup), ¼ cup of cider vinegar and ½ a cup of canola oil (any neutral oil would
be fine). Just season with salt and
pepper and shake it together.
Mix some raisins, dried
cranberries and some chopped brazil nuts through the carrot. Put the dressing on just before serving. You could substitute other nuts for the
brazil nuts – they're just what I had to hand.
Sounds tasty and would be good in burgers :)
