On a rainy spring morning, I made a tangy arugula salad with sweet shaved carrots and pickled pink radishes. It was a visual and sensory wake up cleanse.

Clean the carrots’ surfaces by scraping off any brown spots or tiny hairs; rinse each one. Arrange the arugula leaves on individual plates.  Slice the pickled radish into severl half-moon shapes. Place them among the arugula leaves.

Shave the carrot as you would a pencil. Scatter the carrot shavings onto the salads.
