Carrot Slaw

By: The Food Hunter

We host a lot of outdoor parties and although I like to serve dishes that are delicious and exciting I also like to keep them on the healthy side. Carrot slaw is just that! Shredded sweet carrots are mixed with a savory Dijon & herb balsamic vinaigrette to make a crowd pleasing side dish that compliments just about any backyard fare. It's simple to prepare, uber healthy and tastes delicious.



Carrot Slaw
(printable recipe)
4 Large Carrots, shredded
1 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin olive oil
2 Teaspoons of Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil, chopped
salt and pepper

Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until thick. Pour over carrots and toss to coat.

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

    I love adding shredded carrot to my cabbage slaw, so I'm sure I'd gobble this down in no time (especially with the basil). Also, I love that it doesn't have raisins like so many carrot recipes. Not a big fan. :)

    What a great way to mix up the side dishes for a bbq! And I love that this isn't mayo based!

    I really like the change up of using carrot in a slaw.

    Thank you for posting the first carrot slaw that I've ever seen that doesn't contain mayo, sugar, and raisins. This looks fantastic!

    I'm in the no raisin crowd also and love you've omitted the mayo also - on the list to make!
