French Carrot Salad. In a salad bowl, combine the dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, vegetable oil, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the carrots, fresh parsley and scallions (or shallots) and toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
I'm generally a fan of big, bold flavor, but French carrot salad is a delicate balance of sweet raw carrot, tangy lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard and herbs.
This carrot salad is a lesson in restraint and tastes more complex than it is.
Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.
