This French Grated Carrot Salad is an easy way to use up an abundance of carrots – if you have to bring a dish to pass, this would be the perfect dish to whip up.
Of course, the hardest part of this salad is getting out your food processor – but once you get the appliance on the counter and the carrots are shredded, the rest is downhill.
In an ideal world, it would need a few hours of refrigeration to allow the flavors to blend… but if you only have 30-45 minutes, you can definitely make it work.
Not only is this salad simple, the flavor is absolutely incredible.
