Salade de Carottes au Thon

Don't let the title fool you.  This is not a French recipe per se.  It's one I thought up.  But to my mind, salade de carottes au thon sounds a thousand times more sophisticated than Carrot Tuna Salad.  But I don't know why it matters.  There is nothing fancy about this recipe, and there needn't be.  It's my favorite go-to lunch of the moment.  Light, healthy, packed full of protein and vitamin A, and wonderfully delicious to boot.

It's one of those meals that is thrown together in a flash.  Grate a few carrots, toss in a bowl with a can of drained tuna, minced shallot or a couple cloves of grated garlic (both if you are feeling daring), and mix with a dressing of plain yogurt and mayonnaise.  Sprinkle liberally with coarse salt and you are good to go.
