Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh mint
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, shred the carrots into fine strips and place them in a large salad bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, discarding any tough stems, and add them to the bowl of shredded carrots.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground paprika, and sea salt to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the shredded carrots and herbs, then toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Gently fold in the raisins and slivered almonds to add texture and sweetness to the salad.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley or mint leaves if desired.
