If you have a food processor it will make the carrot shreds thicker than a box grater will, and they'll have a better texture and keep longer. Also, if you're using dried herbs, make the salad, or at least the dressing, ahead so that they can blend.
French Grated Carrot Salad
1 pound (450g) carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more, to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Dijon or stone ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon honey or sugar
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chives, or chervil
1. Grate the carrots in a food processor, rotary grater or box grater.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, mustard, and honey or sugar. Add the carrots and chopped herbs and toss thoroughly with the dressing.
3. Taste, and season with additional lemon juice, salt, or other ingredients.
Serving and storage: The salad is best served at room temperature. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
