Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can make it ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. The shredded carrots will soften over time, but the salad will still be delicious. Feel free to experiment with different types of vinegar or add-ins like sliced radishes, toasted nuts, or crumbled feta cheese.
