Editor’s Notes

This recipe is plant-based only if egg-free mayonnaise is used.
If you are on a special diet, check mayonnaise label for hidden ingredients. For example, it may have hidden dairy, gluten or other grains.
Instead of chopping the carrot consider using a peeler to make very thin slices.
