How to Make Carrot Salad With Capers

  1. Wash and peel the carrots. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, create thin, even ribbons or matchsticks.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, capers, red onion, and fresh parsley.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  4. Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss gently to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or olive oil for richness.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. The flavors will meld beautifully if chilled for at least 30 minutes.
