directions

  • Peel the carrots and cut into thin slices or julienne on a mandoline or by hand. There should be about 4 cups. Drop the carrots into a pot of boiling salted water and cook until crisp-tender, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Drain the carrots and refresh them in ice water. Drain again, pat dry, and put in a large mixing bowl.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Combine the 1/4 cup lemon juice ans the 1/4 Celsius mint in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling and remove from heat. Let it steep about 10 minutes, then strain the infusion into a mixing bowl. There should be about 1/4 cup of infused lemon juice.
  • Add the remaining vinaigrette ingredients to the infusion and whisk together.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of the vinaigrette to the carrots and toss to coat.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
