Carrots are great keepers, so this makes a handy, refreshing salad when you haven't had time to shop for fresh greens. It brightens up a tuna sandwich too.
2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste 2 cups grated carrots (4 medium-large) 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add carrots, dill and scallions; toss to coat. Chill until serving time.
Makes 4 1/2 cup servings
