Ingredients
  

  • 8 large carrots
  • Juice of 2 lemons about half a cup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup packed tight finely chopped cilantro (including stems)
  • 1 tablespoon dry roasted pistachios optional
  • 1 tablespoon walnut cheese optional, see previous post for recipe

Instructions
 

  • Use your peeler to slice carrots into ribbons. With each carrot, you'll get to a point where there's more left but it's very difficult to peel. Move on to the next carrot at that point and save the unpeelable parts for something else.
  • In a cup, mix all remaining ingredients except pistachios and walnut cheese.
  • Pour over carrot ribbons and gently mix well.
  • Place onto your serving plate and top with pistachios, walnut cheese, and extra cilantro or parsley to garnish.

Notes

For a time-saver, feel free to use bagged carrot matchsticks if you don't want to deal with peeling the carrot ribbons.
