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)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pour the tahini dressing over the shredded carrots and toss until the carrots are well coated. Stir in chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 4

Toast the bread slices if you prefer a crunchier sandwich.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches. Slice in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
