Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots.
Using a box grater or food processor with a shredding blade, grate the carrots into thin strands and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the shredded carrots and toss gently to coat all the carrots evenly.
