An apple-cider vinaigrette complements the earthy, subtle licorice flavor of the crushed caraway seeds and sweet raisins in this zippy carrot slaw.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds

  • 1 tablespoon country Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup raisins or dried currants

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 1 pound peeled carrots

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Directions

  1. Lightly crush caraway seeds. Place in a large bowl with mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk in olive oil. Stir in raisins or dried currants; season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Let stand 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, julienne, grate, or spiralize peeled carrots (you should have 4 packed cups). Toss with vinaigrette and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
