IntroductionSkip To The Recipe

Carrot salad is a nice change to my regular mixed green salad. I grew up eating it in France and, I still do enjoy it. There is more than meets the eye on grating carrots however. If too finely grated, it will turn into mush. If grated too coarsely, it will take forever to chew, even for a rabbit. Using the right gage on the grater is important on how different the salad will taste. Last night I did not use my usual grater and I can tell you I will never make that mistake again. Granted, the carrot were not grated too coarsely, however they did not have the flavor when grated smaller.
In France the seasoning is kept simple, and the carrots are served separate in a little mount on the plate.

The swordfish sauce was just using the same ingredients as the carrot salad so I would not have too many conflicting flavors on my plate.
Simple and delightful. We enjoyed a nice glass of Chardonnay alongside.
