Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium-sized carrots, washed, ends trimmed (10 oz/287 g)
  • ½ cup parsley, roughly chopped (can substitute with cilantro or mint)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, or kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, optional

Instructions
 

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel the outer skin of your carrots. Then continue to grate them into ribbons. Transfer them to a large salad bowl.
  • Add the parsley to the bowl.
  • Prepare the dressing: Place the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, cumin, salt, and ground black pepper in a mason jar. Put the lid on and shake. Set aside.
  • Drizzle the shaved carrots with the dressing and give it a gentle toss using tongs.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Serve.

Notes

  • Yields: This recipe makes about 3-4 cups of carrot salad, which is ideal for 4 servings as a side dish and 2 servings as a light meal. The nutritional values below are per serving (of 4.)
  • Slicing carrots: While I shave the carrots into ribbons, you can shred it using a box grater or a food processor.
  • Let it rest: If you have the time, let the salad rest in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Resting time allows the flavors to meld together and make it even more delicious.
  • Storage: You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
