french carrot salad (salade de carottes rapees)

 

(Check out the beautiful orange salad in the bottom right corner of the bento box.)

I don't know where I found this recipe, but it's absolutely sweet, vinegary, and citrusy, so I always double it. The recipe below is half of what I normally make, although finely grating two carrots is a chore in my book.

You'll need:

• 1 carrot, finely grated
• 1/2 navel orange, segmented
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Dill leaves (I always leave these out because I never have them)
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Do this:

Combine and chill, man.
