- 1⁄2 cup sunflower oil
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons small capers (save the vinegar they are pickled in)

directions
- 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.

This is a pretty and healthy salad and while we did enjoy the crispness of the carrots, the capers were a bit too much for our taste. Made for PAC.

I love to cook! And above all, cooking for friends! Dinner parties are like Christmas for me!
Although I am not a vegetarian, I try to prepare most meals without meat... It's so easy once you find good recipes, there are so many out there! Veggie food can be as satisfying and filling as meat!!
I find there are only pluses to reduce the amount of meat in my diet: I get to experience new foods and tastes, it reduces my intake of pollutant through food since most of it is from animal products (including dairy and eggs), and it is environmentally friendly because it reduces the demand on meat production which is highly polluting.
OK, you figured me out! I'm a bit of an environmetalist! Without giving up meat completely, I hope you get inspired like I have by all the tasty veggie recipes on this site :)
Bon appétit!
