his is a very popular French salad. They serve some kind of version of it all over France. I heard that the French optometrists are circulating a petition to have it abolished.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash, peel, and trim the carrots before you grate them. You can use a stand grater to grate all of the carrots by hand, but I much prefer to use my food processor, which kindly does the job in a matter of seconds. Place the grated carrots in a large serving bowl.

Step 3

Spread the walnuts across the prepared cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until they are lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before roughly chopping the nuts with a large knife. Sprinkle the nuts and parsley over the carrots.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, zest, olive oil, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Dress the salad and toss to combine.

Step 5

Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Step 6

very year, my dad and his buddies go on a fishing trip to Haida Gwaii. If it goes well, I end up with a freezer full of salmon. If it goes really well, I also end up with a pantry full of canned smoked salmon. Then I make this salad and things go even better.
