Grated carrot salad with kefir Dijon sauce

There are not a lot of fresh vegetables available in the winter so often I invent some salads with veggies thet are available throughout the whole year, for example this delicious grated carrot salad. Its simplicity is disarming and the taste is very good thanks to the addition of a savory sauce. The sauce is a delicious mix of kefir (or yogurt), Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Few ingredients and lot of flavor.
