Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 medium medium oranges, segmented Remove any seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint or parsley if preferred
Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling the carrots and grating them using a box grater or a food processor.
  2. Segment the oranges over a bowl to catch any juice that might escape.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Combine the Salad
  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the grated carrots and orange segments together.
  2. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently to ensure everything is well-coated.
Add Fresh Herbs
  1. Sprinkle the chopped mint on top and give it one last gentle toss.
Serve
  1. Allow the salad to sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving to help the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

For substitutions, if you can’t find fresh mint, parsley works as a great alternative. For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts. Prepare shortly before serving for optimal flavor. If making ahead, store dressing separately to keep carrots crisp.
