instructions
    1

    Start by washing the rainbow carrots thoroughly. Then, peel them using a vegetable peeler.

    2

    Next, shred the carrots using a grater or a food processor. Set aside in a bowl.

    3

    In another bowl, wash and dry the spinach leaves. Make sure they're completely dry to avoid watering down the salad.

    4

    Combine the shredded carrots and spinach in a large salad bowl.

    5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

    6

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly. This should take about 2 minutes.

    7

    Finally, crumble the feta cheese on top of the salad before serving for a touch of creaminess.

    8

    This entire process should take no more than 15 minutes of your time!
