Carrot salad with feta and honey dressing

How to make the humble carrot fancy? It's easy, I promise, try this and you'll never look at a carrot the same again. This sweet shredded carrot salad shows you don't have to always cook or grate carrots, they will taste great after a quick scrub down and simply shredded through with a potato peeler. The honey, lemon dressing blends really well with the crunchy sweetness of the carrots here, and the salty feta and olives gives a great contrast to their delicate flavours.

Ingredients:

4 medium sized carrots
2 shallots
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon of honey
Juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons of olive oil
150g feta cheese
Small handful of pitted black olives
Salt and Pepper

Scrub the carrots and peel off the outer skin, chop off their rough tops/bottoms and dispose. Hold firmly on a work surface and continue to shred with the peeler, continue until all the carrots are finished. Arrange the carrots shreds in a circular fashion in a small bowl.

To make the dressing: peel and finely chop the shallots, garlic, and mix with the lemon, honey, olive oil and pinch of slat and pepper. Drizzle it all over the carrots. Crumble over the feta cheese. Roughly chop the olives and sprinkle these over the salad along with an extra dose of salt and pepper seasoning.
