RAY PEAT CARROT SALAD
1. Gather ingredient. I like to use rainbow carrots because the purple and white one have less carrot flavor. Also they have far less carotene. I usually use apple cider vinegar in the carrot salad, but I was in the mood for a little lemon this time.
2. Peel the carrots. With the peeler go up and down the carrot without lifting the peeler to make ribbons. This salad use to take me way too long to make until I figured this way out. Put the carrots in a bowl.
3. Add in a couple of teaspoons of good olive oil and a big pinch of flaky finishing salt, like Maldon.
4. Squeeze in some fresh lemon or a teaspooon of apple cider vinegar and enjoy!
One thing I didn't realize, until recently, is that having the carrot salad with food depletes the nutrients in the other foods. So it is important to have this salad away from food by at least an hour before food and no food an hour after, so it can have a clear place to do it's job. This salad is a great cure for constipation, a white coated tongue and puffy eyes. In the link I posted below it talks about the very different benefits of each color of carrot.
