Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 medium lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Instructions
Peel the carrots and grate them using a coarse grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Zest the lemon, avoiding the white pith, and juice the lemon. Add the zest and the juice to the mixing bowl with the carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the grated carrots and mix well to ensure the carrots are evenly coated.
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely and add them to the carrot mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then toss everything together until well combined.
Top the salad with sunflower seeds and gently mix them in for an added crunch.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
