- Peel and trim the carrots and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
- Bring water to a boil in a vegetable steamer, add in carrots, cover, and steam for 6 to 7 min, or possibly till tender. Remove from the steamer and immediately run under cool water to stop further cooking. Drain and dry thoroughly on paper towels. Set aside.
- In a medium salad bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, sugar, and mustard and whisk till the sugar has dissolved. Add in the extra virgin olive oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly till the vinaigrette is well blended and creamy. Add in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
- Add in the carrots and toss to coat proportionately. Cover and chill 4 to 6 hrs.
- Thirty min before serving, bring the salad back to room temperature and correct seasoning, adding a large grinding of black pepper. Garnish with sprigs of fresh cilantro and serve as part of a buffet or possibly antipasto table.
- This recipe serves 6.
- Comments: You may substitute 2 to 3 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint for the fresh cilantro.
