  1. Gather all the ingredients and equipment. Wash the produce and prepare it as detailed in the ingredients list.
  2. Add the grated carrots to a large bowl.
  3. Prepare the dressing by combining the garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, basil, salt, and pepper in a jar with a lid (or another container) and shake or mix thoroughly.
