Ingredients

1 pound carrots, peeled
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice from one lemon
1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons honey to taste
0.25 teaspoon salt heaping
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 pieces scallions finely sliced (or 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots)

Instructions

Shred the carrots in a food processor. Set aside.
