Here's another good recipe for using your mint - "Carrot Rapee" - posted by Debbie in GA

CARROT RAPEE

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound carrots, peeled and finely shredded
1/4 cup fresh orange or carrot juice (I used fresh orange juice)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (I used about 2 1/2 Tbsp)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. chopped fresh ginger
2 tbsp. canola oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley (First time I used fresh mint, second time I used a combination of fresh mint, parsley, and cilantro)
1 cup currants (I omitted these)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place the carrots in a colander to drain for 1/2 hour. (I omitted this step).

2. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, whisk the juice, vinegar, mustard, and ginger. Drizzle in the oil.

3. Transfer the carrots to a medium mixing bowl, add the dressing, and toss well. Add the parsley and currants and toss well. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
