Instructies
Prepare the Carrots:
Peel the carrots and slice them into very thin 2-inch strips or use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons.
Make the Dressing:
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and white wine vinegar.
Mix well until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Marinate the Carrots:
Place the thinly sliced carrots in a shallow dish or bowl.
Pour the mayonnaise-vinegar mixture over the carrots and toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Refrigerate and Marinate:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the marinated carrots for at least 8 to 12 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve:
Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
