Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a cup, mix all remaining ingredients except pistachios and walnut cheese.
  3. Pour over carrot ribbons and gently mix well.
  4. 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.
