This is an oil-free version of a classic picnic recipe. I use this as a side dish, as a condiment with roasted beets, and as a sandwich spread. It would go great with salmon or pork, too. It is light and flavorful, and oh so good for you! If you use a food processor to shred the carrots, this comes together in about 15 minutes. This is very versatile. Add 1-2 cloves of minced garlic to the dressing and toss with roasted beets for a fall side-dish. Do an extra-fine chop in a food processor for a terrific spread for a veggie sandwich. It's all good!
