Step 2

Use a julienne peeler to create strips/noodles of carrot for the salad.  You will need a julienne peeler to do this or a mandolin with a julienne attachment.

Alternatively, you can just replace the strips with 4 cups of matchstick carrots.  Add the carrot to a large mixing bowl.

Drizzle on the dressing.  Use your hands to gently toss the carrot in the dressing.  The citrus will marinate and help wilt/soften the carrot.
