Instructions raw carrot salad – quick marinated side dish

In a bowl mix sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Add the zest of half a lemon and mix again.
Take 2 large carrots. Wash and dry them and then remove the skin. Now with a potato peeler, a mandolin cutter or a very sharp knife cut many very thin and light slices. The slices must be really very thin, a few millilmeters at the most, to make them soft in the marinade.
Dip them in the prepared liquid and mix gently to cover completely. Place in the fridge for at least 10 minutes (I recommend 30 minutes) to make them marinate quickly.
Remove the carrots from the fridge. Place each strip on a serving plate leaving the excess liquid in the bowl. Now, if you like, sprinkle everything with chopped parsley and serve as a side dish or as a filling to burgers and sandwiches.
