Step 1
Start by combining the mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Give it a good whisk until everything is well blended. Toss in the shredded carrots and stir until they’re evenly coated with the dressing. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least a couple of hours so the flavors can really meld together before you serve.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is fresh and vibrant, offering a perfect balance of sweetness from the carrots and tanginess from the dressing. It’s light, healthy, and full of crunch, making it a great side for any meal or a quick snack on its own.
How to serve
Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled meats or fish. It also works well as a refreshing topping for sandwiches or wraps. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving, as the dressing may settle. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the carrots will change and become mushy.
