I have been flush on carrots for months now.  I love them but they are prolific and continue to appear weekly in my CSA box.  “Enough!” I declared!  There has to be an easy salad to enjoy these carrots.  And I discovered… there is!  Here is one simple approach to enjoying raw carrots.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. carrots, peeled
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1-2 T. champagne vinegar
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 1/4 t. cayenne
• 1/4 – 1/2 c. olive oil
• 1 T. sage, finely chopped

1. Thinly slice carrots either by julienning them or simply cutting them into bite size bits.
2. In a mortar and pestle, smooth garlic and salt.  Add vinegar, lemon juice and cayenne.  Mix well then add to carrots.
3. Add olive oil and sage, mix well.
