Fresh and vibrant Raw Carrot Salad with a zesty apple cider vinegar dressing, offering a crunchy texture and bright, tangy flavor. This easy-to-make salad is packed with vitamins and natural fiber, perfect as a light snack or versatile side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 3 cups fresh carrots, peeled and shredded or julienned
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (optional)

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (natural)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and finely shred or julienne your fresh carrots to create a perfect bite-sized crunchy base for the salad.
  2. Make the Apple Cider Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and honey (natural) until smooth and tangy.
  3. Toss the Salad: Place the shredded carrots in a large bowl, pour the dressing over them, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to coat each carrot evenly.
  4. Add Crunch with Seeds: Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top for added texture and nutty flavor to finish the salad beautifully.

Notes

  • Use the freshest carrots possible for crunchier and sweeter results.
  • Adjust the dressing’s acidity by adding more honey (natural) or lemon juice if needed.
  • Let the salad rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • You may add a small amount of natural gelling agent to the dressing for a thicker texture.
  • Serve chilled for the best crispness and refreshing taste.
