Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, peeled and grated

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries

1/4 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the carrots: Peel them and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated carrots in a large mixing bowl.

    Add the finely chopped parsley, sliced green onions, raisins (or dried cranberries), and toasted walnuts to the bowl with the carrots. Mix these ingredients together to combine.

      In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), and olive oil until well blended.

        Season the dressing with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.

          Pour the lemon Dijon dressing over the carrot mixture. Toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

            Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together for a more delicious taste.
