As summer fades on the islands of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the bright vegetables of the season begin to give way to the earthy harvests of autumn. Among the vegetables of the autumn harvest are fresh carrots, which the islanders use to prepare Salade de Carottes Râpées, a bright and refreshing salad made with carrots, raisins, goat cheese, and fresh herbs.
This version of the dish combines finely grated carrots with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey before being finished with parsley, raisins, and crumbled goat cheese. Light, crisp, and slightly sweet, it’s a simple side dish that perfectly captures the quieter atmosphere of autumn life on the islands.
Ingredients
4-5 carrots, finely grated
3 tbsp lemon juice or red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
½ tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
Salt & black pepper
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
To grate the carrots, either use a hand grater or a grating attachment in a food processor.
Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard and honey together in a bowl.
Place the grated carrots in a bowl, season them with salt and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the carrots and toss to fully incorporate the seasoning and the dressing. Let it sit 10 minutes to lightly marinate.
Fold the raisins and parsley into the carrots, and then fold on a portion of the goat cheese, leaving some to garnish the top.
Your carrots are ready. Serve a portion of the carrot salad as a side dish with the meal of your choice. Enjoy!
