Ingredients for Slaw:
1/2 lb Carrots - Shredded
2/3 Cup Craisins
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
Ingredients for Citrus Vinaigrette:
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Honey
3 Tbsp Orange Juice
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tsp Lemon Zest
1/8 Tsp Pepper
1/4 Tsp Salt
Garnish with a few Tbsp of fresh chives
Adapted from: http://www.onceuponachef.com/
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the ingredients for the citrus vinaigrette (Olive oil, honey, orange juice, lemon juice, lemon zest, slat & pepper)
I had a bag of baby carrots that needed to be used so I tossed them in my food processor using the shredding tool. You can also buy carrots that are shredded.or full size carrots to peel and shred yourself. Add your carrots, craisins and pecans to the bowl with the vinaigrette.
Mix everything together well so that the vinaigrette has dressed all of the slaw. Allow to sit in the fridge for a few hours so the vinaigrette has some time to soak into the carrots and craisins. Top with some fresh chives and serve immediately as a side with your favorite summer sandwich or at your next BBQ.
Enjoy!!
