How to Make Chilean Carrot Salad

  1. Peel 1 pound of carrots. If using a food processor with a julienne blade, process the carrots until thinly sliced. Otherwise, grate the carrots using a box grater.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin.
  3. Add the prepared carrots to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all carrots are coated.
  4. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 1/4 cup chopped red onion. Toss again to incorporate.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
