Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
- 4 pieces Bread (slices)
- 1 cup Leafy greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, honey (if using), minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick.
Pour the tahini dressing over the shredded carrots and toss until the carrots are well coated. Stir in chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Toast the bread slices if you prefer a crunchier sandwich.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering a generous amount of the shredded carrot mixture onto two slices of bread. Top with a handful of leafy greens.
Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches. Slice in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
