Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh carrots, shredded or julienned
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and shred or julienne the fresh carrots into thin, uniform pieces to ensure a crisp and enjoyable texture in every bite.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice (natural), maple syrup (natural), salt, and black pepper until fully combined and the dressing is light and smooth.
  3. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the shredded carrots, tossing gently but thoroughly to coat each strand evenly with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Add Seeds and Herbs: Sprinkle sunflower seeds and finely chopped fresh parsley on top, folding them into the salad to add texture and a fresh herbal dimension.
  5. Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Sample the salad and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice (natural) as needed to achieve a perfectly balanced flavor to your liking.

Notes

  • Choose organic carrots for a sweeter, more natural flavor boost.
  • Shred or julienne carrots finely for an ideal light and refreshing texture.
  • Chill the salad for 15-20 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
  • Always use fresh herbs for the most vibrant taste.
  • Optionally lightly toast sunflower seeds for a nuttier crunch and aroma.
