Steps:
- Grate the carrots, the finer the better. Using a food processor will make this step easy and quick, add time to your preparation if you do this buy hand!
- Add the sunflower oil, the capers and the vinegar they were pickled in, and the pepper.
- Salt to taste.
- Adjust the amount of oil you add depending on how much ahead you are preparing the salad because the carrots will "drink" the liquid. So if you prepare this dish the day before, put a little more oil so the salad stays moist.
- Adjust the amount of vinegar according to taste.

CLASSIC CARROT SALAD
Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.

FRENCH GRATED CARROT SALAD
Want to work more carrots into your diet? Make up a batch of grated carrot salad every week. Standard fare in French cafes and charcuteries, this salad keeps well. If you have it handy, you'll be eating carrots every day. This classic version is made with a salad oil rather than stronger-tasting olive oil. You have a choice here, as extra-virgin olive oil has health benefits that canola oil may not. Still, choose a mild-tasting olive oil rather than a strong green one. For a twist on this version, try it curried, bolstered with capers, cumin and curry powder.
