Cucumber Carrot Fresh Tangy (Printable Version)

Juicy carrot, cool cucumber, and a handful of parsley get tossed in a super lemony dressing for a light side you can whip up in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Vegetables

01 - Fresh parsley, finely chopped, 2 tablespoons
02 - 1/4 cup red onion, nicely diced
03 - 1 English cucumber, sliced thin
04 - 2 big carrots, cut into matchsticks

→ Dressing

05 - Black pepper, sprinkle as you like
06 - Salt, sprinkle as much as you like
07 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, your pick
08 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Give it a taste and sprinkle in more salt or pepper if you want. You can pop the bowl in the fridge for about half an hour, or just enjoy right away.
02 - Drizzle your dressing all over the veggies, then toss everything gently so it’s mixed well.
03 - In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper till it all comes together and looks glossy.
04 - Drop the carrot matchsticks, cucumber rounds, diced onion, and parsley into a big bowl.

# Additional Notes:

01 - If you’ve got a mandolin slicer, go ahead and use it for neat, super even slices. Cooling the bowl before you eat makes it even crunchier and tastier.
