Start by peeling the carrots and cutting off the ends. Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, grate the carrots into fine shreds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and erythritol until well combined.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots with the dressing. Add the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to coat the carrots evenly with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the toasted sunflower seeds over the top for some added crunch.
Serve the Karottensalat chilled or at room temperature as a low carb side dish or refreshing snack.
