- 0.25 cup walnuts
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Use a grater or food processor with a grater attachment to grate the carrots into fine shreds.
Chop the walnuts into small pieces and set aside. You may lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor if desired.
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, chopped parsley, and walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss everything together until the carrots are well coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Serve the salad immediately as a side dish or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld further.
