Ingredients

1 & ½ lbs carrots, shredded or julienned wash and peel before cutting
½ lb English (hothouse) cucumber, julienned this is typically half of a very long one
⅓ cup green onions/scallions sliced thin
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes may substitute crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Shred or julienne carrots; rest on paper towels while you complete the next step (some moisture will be absorbed this way).
Julienne cucumber; thinly slice green onions.
Add carrots, cucumber, and green onion to large mixing bowl; gently toss.
In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, pepper, and salt.
Pour dressing into large bowl; gently mix to incorporate.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

For presentation, I will sometimes reserve some of the julienned cucumber and sliced onions to place on top when serving (as pictured).

Since carrots are the main ingredient (and we use a lot), grating them can be laborious. Alternatives to standard box graters are julienne peelers and food processors. See the Top tip in the above post for more info.

Store Carrot Slaw in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days (the longer it sits, the soggier it gets).
