Carottes Râpées (French Grated Carrot Salad)

Ingredients

For 4 portions

500g carrots
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tsp mustard
0.25 Tsp sugar
0.5 Tsp salt
0.25 Tsp black pepper
10g parsley
20g rocket
60g pomegranate

Method

Peel the carrots and grate them on the fine side of a box grater (or with the fine grating disc of a food processor) – fine shreds soak up the dressing best.
Dressing: in a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper, then whisk in the olive oil until creamy.
Add the carrots and toss well. Leave for 10 minutes so the carrots soften slightly and release their sweetness.
Stir in the finely chopped parsley and taste for salt and lemon.
Pile onto plates, scatter with the rocket leaves and pomegranate seeds, and serve. Keeps in the fridge for a day (add the rocket and pomegranate just before serving).
