Carrot Salad

Don’t know why but I had this going through my head for weeks before finally making it – well worth the wait. It’s a really light dressing, if you want it thicker add in more mayo.

Dressing

1/4 c olive oil mayo
2T orange juice
1 1/2 t vanilla vinegar (stick a vanilla bean in some white balsamic vinegar for a month or so)
1/2t mustard
3 drops orange extract
salt

Salad
8 carrots, peeled and grated
2 handfuls of mixed baby greens
1/2c red onion, coarsely chopped
1/4c pecans
1/3c dehydrated apples
2-4T cilantro, chopped (could also use fennel or parsley)
zest of one orange

Mix together dressing in a deep bowl. Add in the rest of the ingredients and toss to coat. Serve and enjoy!
