Viral Carrot Salad with Dill Dressing

This is my take on the viral shaved carrot salad. The carrots are peeled into long ribbons with a shredder peeler, then tossed in a fresh dill dressing.

The dressing is dill, green chilli, lemon, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt and plenty of black pepper. Bright, tangy and very easy.
