- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (Note 3)
- 2 teaspoons honey (Note 4)
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt & pepper to taste

- Peel and shred the carrots and add to a large mixing bowl. (Note 5)

Notes
1. Fresh Dill - if you can't get fresh dill, substitute for 1 tablespoon dried dill. Or use other fresh herbs like parsley, fennel, basil or green onion.
2. Oil - Using another neutral oil like vegetable or canola is also fine. Coconut oil will work but will impact the flavor of the finished salad.
3. Vinegar - Substitute apple cider vinegar for equal parts another acid, such as lemon juice or white vinegar.
4. Make it vegan - substitute the honey for equal parts maple syrup.
5. Shredding the carrots - use the large holes of a box grater, a food processor with the shredding disc, or a vegetable peeler to make thin ribbons of carrot.
