Carrot Salad

Grated carrot might sound dull but shredded in long fine strips, moistened with olive oil, lemon juice and a seasoning of salt and pepper it becomes a delicious salad. Those lucky enough to own an old-fashioned Mouli-julienne will find the second-finest grating plate perfect for this, otherwise use the grating attachment of a food processor or a hand-held grater. As the flavour of the carrots is paramount in this simple dish, use organic carrots if you possibly can.
