Ingredients
- 1 pound (45gm) carrots
- 3 tablespoon green onions finely chopped
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Vinaigrette Dressing (recipe below)
Added Ingredients: - Shelled sunflower seeds
- Chickpeas
Instructions
- Mix the Vinaigrette Aux Fines Herbes dressing (recipe below) first as it needs to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- Peel and grate the carrots into slivers rather than fine shreds with a food processor or a coarse grater or as the French do use a "Moulinex Hachoir".
- Season well with salt and pepper.
- Mix with the dressing.
- 3 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
- · 2 tbsps of vinegar - cider or wine, but not balsamic
- · 2 pinches of salt
- · black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of finely chopped herbs. The herbs must be fresh and consist of fennel, chervil or parsley, tarragon, chives, and 4 leaves of marjoram. Do not use more marjoram as it is rather pungent.
- Put the salt into a bowl together with a little black pepper. Stir in the vinegar and continue until the salt has dissolved – this is because salt will not dissolve in oil. Now add the oil, a little at a time, beating continuously until the dressing is cloudy.
- Now, mix in herbs.
- Allow to stand for about 10 minutes, then shake again just before use.
