The most goated carrot salad recipe from Jacques Pepin.

4-5 grated carrots
1-2 tsp olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic minced
black pepper and salt
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2-4+ tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Mix together, give it a few minutes to combine.

Unbelievable flavor from the parsley and sweet tang from the cider vinegar.

I think I finally found a carrot salad recipe that is highly appetizing.

Happy Solstice!

Thanks for posting.
To vary I'd add two grated apples. Fine so (50%).
Best with bio apple vinegar (cider) but lemon juice could also match.
No pepper if you suffer from histamine.
Need a a cheese slice or (cottage cheese) to counteract oxalate if you're limit, or then take one dose potassium citrates.
NB: I put my apples in a box with water and 1 tsp sodium bicarbonate, for 12', to get rid of 85 % of pesticides.

NaHCO3 aka Baking Soda Washes All Pesticides Off Your Fruits & Veggies | 100% Pesticide Removal From Surface

Simply running a stream of water over an apple and scrubbing it with a brush won't be enough to remove most toxic substances. It will be cost-effective, but not enough, as this study on a few vegetables shows.

You will need to immerse the apples in a bicarbonate bath, at a minimum pH of 8.5.
Figure: NaHCO3 = sodium Bicarbonate

Note: Only once a day (chelation).

Sounds very good. The parsley also has a decent amount of apigenin and is more than just for flavor.

Another idea would be to also use some ginger. Although raw ginger isn't to everybody's liking and I'm not sure the intense taste destroys the overall taste of the other ingredients.

@LucH
Hell yeah. I like the lemon juice idea and apples and or goat cheese would be crazy.

Corngold

@Luke ginger and radish plus soy sauce could be an Asian idea. Soy sauce doesn't bother me in small amounts.

@heyman ray literally said himself he sometimes adds ham to it to make it a meal

@sunsunsun I think it's good before a meal. French style. Ironic to see so many recipes calling for veg oil instead of evoo.
