Instructions

To prepare the dressing, combine red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a jar. Season with salt and pepper, shake until smooth and well blended, ensuring the honey is fully incorporated.
Wash and peel the carrots, then use a julienne peeler or a box grater to create thin carrot strands. Measure out 4 cups and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped pistachios, dill, and parsley to the carrots. Drizzle in the dressing to taste, tossing gently to coat. Adjust seasonings as necessary for flavor.
Serve immediately, or chill for 15 to 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. If desired, sprinkle feta cheese on top just before serving.

Notes

Fresh herbs can be replaced with dried herbs if fresh is not available; use about 1/3 of the amount.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the dressing by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
For a more vibrant flavor, allow the salad to sit for a few minutes after tossing before serving.
