One of my favorite ways of using parsley is to make parsley salad,
thanks to The Ranger.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Parsley Salad

salads/dressing

1-1/4 cups carrot, shredded
1-1/2 cups italian parsley, rough-chopped
1 tin anchovies in oil, rough-chopped
1 clove elephant garlic, thin-sliced
1/4 cup evoo
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
salt & pepper to taste

In a bowl, you shred a carrot, layer the chopped parsley, a pinch of
coarse salt, the chopped anchovies _AND_ the oil they were packed in.
Then you thin-slice (using a potato peeler) the elephant garlic. Add
in the EVOO and vinegar to assist in breaking down the parsley, salt
and pepper to taste, cover and set aside in refrigerator to allow all
the flavors to meld.
