Transfer the drained carrot and mushroom mixture to a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon-garlic dressing over the vegetables and stir gently to ensure they are evenly coated. (Assembly time: 3 minutes)

Serve immediately or chill for later. The flavors meld beautifully as it sits! (Chill time if applicable: 30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of olive oil to the lemon juice mixture.
A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a delightful kick.
This salad is excellent served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Consider adding chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for an extra layer of freshness.
