French Carrot Salad

Shredding carrots makes them sweeter, and this classic French bistro side dish takes full advantage of that phenomenon.

The food processor was the fastest and easiest way to shred carrots for this recipe. We also liked the meatier shreds it produces, though a box grater works fine, too. We kept this salad simple, but versions with toasted nuts or chopped dried fruit also were delicious. No tarragon? Use 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme instead.

Tip

Don’t use old bagged carrots. This salad is all about the earthy, sweet carrot flavor.
