Lemon Dijon Carrot Ribbon Salad

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon light vinegar (such as red wine vinegar)
• Juice from ½ lemon
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 medium carrots
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Make the dressing: In a mason jar (or using a bowl and whisk), combine the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pepper. Shake well to combine. Taste and adjust flavors, if needed.
2. Make the carrot ribbons: Wash the carrots, cut the ends off, and peel and discard the outer skin. Using a vegetable peeler, peel into long ribbons.
3. Assemble the salad: In a bowl, stir together the carrot ribbons and as much dressing as you would like. You can save any remaining dressing in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let the salad sit for at least 5 minutes before serving, to allow the carrots to soften. Garnish with fresh parsley and more black pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
