Ingredients

• 4 large carrots
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Use a box grater or a food processor to grate them finely, and place the grated carrot in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, extra virgin olive oil, and honey until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the dressing over the grated carrots. Add salt and black pepper, then toss everything together until the carrots are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl.

Step 5

Add the sunflower seeds and raisins to the carrot mixture. Stir gently to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 6

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step also helps the carrots soften slightly, making them even more delicious.

Step 7

Give the salad a final stir before serving. It can be enjoyed immediately or chilled for later.
