Make something a little different for your next cookout. Carrot slaw is both full of flavor and color, a perfect summer side dish.
To begin, in a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons each of whole grain Dijon mustard and honey.
Add in 1/4 cup of apple sider vinegar
Whisk these together.
Slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil while whisking briskly.
Add in a pinch or 2 of salt & pepper.
Set that side for a moment and then peel I trim 8-10 carrots.
Shred the carrots, either by hand or in a food processor.
Place the shredded carrots in a large bowl and pour in the dressing.
Add in a half cup of raisins, and stir it all to combine. Allow this to chill in your fridge for a couple ours or over night, and serve.
