Danish Gulerodsalat
Danish Gulerodsalat (Carrot Salad) is very popular in Denmark and it’s so easy to make, it only has four ingredients. It’s a refreshing, crunchy, sweet and sour….and as an added bonus, guess what, it’s good for you. If you’re not keen on lemon you can use an orange instead, but I like the little bite that lemon gives you. Enjoy this as a side dish, for lunch or as a snack. Serve cold.
Gulerodsalat (Carrot Salad)
Ingredients:
5 carrots
1 lemon
1 to 2 tsp sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup raisins
Directions:
Peel and grate carrots using a box grater or food processor. Place in a small bowl and add the juice of 1 medium lemon. Add sugar to taste. Start with 1 tsp sugar and add more if you prefer the salad a little sweeter. Finally add the raisins, I used Golden raisins but regular raisins would actually add a little more contrast against the orange carrot color. Place in refrigerator to chill for at least 1/2 hour.

I love gulerodsalat. I typically add grated green apple as well which mixes up the textures and gives it a sweet crunch.
A crunchy Granny Smith apple sounds perfect. I’ll have to try that next time.
I love this!! So refreshing 🙂 I think I will make this when I get home today.
It really is wonderful and refreshing. I hope you enjoy it.
Looks like a fresh, fruity and fun summer salad. What is sucker though? Can you get it anywhere? Do you ever add nuts to this or just keep it simple?
LOL that is too funny. It is times like these that it really shows that english is not my native language. Sucker = Sugar 🙂 Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I’ll correct it right now.
