Notes
- If you don't have a vegetable peeler (with a julienne side) you can use either a grater attachment on a food processor (this is for a Vitamix) or standard box grater.
- Storage tips: This French carrot salad will last 3 to 4 days in the fridge. The carrots will become less crisp over time, but the salad will still be delicious for several days.
