Author Notes

This recipe dates back to Italy and my Italian Grandmother. It was a staple in my house growing up and the only way I could stand to eat carrots. To this day, I'm not the biggest carrot fan, but I can't pass up the familiar taste of my grandma's garlicky carrot salad.

This dish is easy to make, colorful and healthy, and complements a gourmet menu or a southern barbecue. —2eatwellRD

My family makes a similar recipe of un cooked shredded carrots, Garlic, Parsley, Lemon juice and vegetable oil and let sit over night in the fridge. I could eat the entire bowl. So yummy.

Since we grew up in the same house, I too love these carrots. One of the easiest ways to prepare carrots.
