Carrot and Feta Salad

Ingredients

• Carrots (4 medium, grated)
• Feta cheese (1 cup, crumbled)
• Fresh parsley (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Honey (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)

Instructions

1. Begin by grating the carrots using a box grater or food processor.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley, ensuring even distribution.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well emulsified.
4. Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss gently to coat each ingredient evenly.
5. Allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes at room temperature. This resting period helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
6. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
