Grated Carrot and Orange Salad Recipe – Easy Raw Paleo & Vegan Friendly Salad Bowl Recipes with 3 healthy ingredients – with the full video tutorial.

Carrot and Orange Salad Recipe

This colour co-ordinated salad has just a few ingredients and the simplicity results in a wonderfully flavourful bowl full.

It’s the kind of salad to make when you feel like a big bowl of veggies but don’t have heaps of vegetables to hand.

You can choose to segment your orange or, as I’ve done, grate the zest and squeeze out all of the juice. I prefer it this way because it keeps the texture simple and you get to enjoy every drop of freshly squeezed orange juice. 

Carrot Salad Ideas

Here are some ideas for other ingredients to include or top your salad with: 

• Raisins or Sultanas
• Nuts & Seeds
• Fried/Grilled Halloumi Cheese
• Pineapple
• Lemon or Lime
• Honey
• Grated Beetroot 
• Chickpeas 
• Mustard
• Salad Dressing
• Avocado
• Spinach
• Parsley or another herb 

How To Make A Grated Carrot Salad

To make a grated carrot salad, first of all you’ll need is carrots! I went for ordinary orange carrots but you could use purple or another exotic variety. 

Then, it’s a matter of grating the carrots into a bowl. I went for using the largest side on a box grater, but you could use a food processor if you’d prefer. 

You can also grate in other vegetables if you’d like and then add the orange. The orange can be segmented and mixed through or the zest grated and juice extracted. 

The salad can be topped with a salad dressing, or just drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and add salt and pepper, to taste. For a whole meal you can mix through some chickpeas or serve with halloumi cheese.

2. Grate the zest from the orange over the grated carrots. 
3. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice over a sieve onto the grated carrots.

5. Drizzle over a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, toss and add the other tablespoon, or more, depending on how moist you want the salad. 
6. Taste the salad and add sugar/stevia, to taste, if needed.

This salad is sweet, flavourful and super easy to put together. It’s perfect for when you feel like a bowl full of veggies but just have the basics to hand.
