More Dorie: Around My French Table - Cafe-Style Grated Carrot Salad

 

      The thirty-second recipe I made from Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table cookbook, was Cafe-style Grated Carrot Salad  found on page 107. 

      I had most of the ingredients out for making Dorie's Bill's Big Carrot Cake from her Baking From My Home to Yours book and remembered that I had seen this recipe on one of my many search and seek recipe jaunts through the book, so decided that the time was right for making it today.  

      Ingredient list:  carrots, Dijon, honey, cider vinegar, canola oil, salt, pepper, raisins, and walnuts. 

      This is a great tasting little salad.  While it had many of the same ingredients as the carrot cake, the carrot cake combines them in a totally sweet way while this salad had a nice sour/sweet tang going on with the combination of the raisins/honey and the Dijon/cider vinegar. 

      It all comes together very quickly and can be made and parked several hours before serving, always a good deal.  Definitely a repeat for this carrot-loving family.

      I am no longer officially cooking with the French Fridays with Dorie group, but if you would like to see more recipes from this book, you can click here. Enrollment is open, feel free to follow along officially or unofficially. The group posts weekly on Fridays.
