Sesame and Aleppo carrot râpée

Easy
Serves 4
Prep 10 min

Râpée is a classic French grated carrot salad - the kind you find in every charcuterie and school canteen in France, usually alongside a salade niçoise and a slice of pâté. This version uses three types of sesame (oil, tahini and seeds) to bring a nuttiness to the dressing, and Aleppo for a little heat. Make it ahead if you can; it absorbs the dressing as it sits and gets better for it.

Ingredients

3 tbsp apple cider vinegar   
2 tbsp olive oil  
1 tbsp honey  
1 tsp Dijon mustard 
2 tsp sesame oil  
1 ½ tbsp tahini  
2 tsp Aleppo chilli flakes 
400g carrots, peeled and coarsely grated   
10g chives, finely chopped  
10g basil leaves, roughly torn   
45g toasted sesame seeds  
Fine sea salt  

Method

1. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the first 7 ingredients, along with ½ teaspoon of salt. Add the carrots, chives, basil and sesame seeds and toss to combine.
