Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded carrots peeled and shaved into ribbons
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 scallions sliced
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Peel the carrots with a vegetable peeler and discard the outer skin.
  2. Using the peeler and holding the end of the carrot as a handle, shave the carrots into ribbons.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the carrots, dried cranberries, scallions and slivered almonds.
  4. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir well.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. The longer it chills, the more flavorful it gets.
  6. Serve as a side salad, in lettuce cups if you like.
