Step-by-Step Instructions for Raw Carrot Salad
Peel the 4 large carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor until you have about 4 cups of grated carrots.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots with the raisins, walnuts, and parsley, stirring gently to mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss until well-coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey/maple syrup if desired.
Allow the salad to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the salad in a bowl or on individual plates, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Notes
For freshness, use organic carrots and consider adding more nuts or dried fruits to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
