Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Optional: 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint
Instructions
- Prep the Carrots: Peel the carrots and trim their ends. Slice them into thin sticks or use a grater for finer shavings, as desired.
- Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, agave or maple syrup, ground coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), and kosher salt until smooth.

Notes
For a different texture, try using a mandoline slicer or marinate the carrots briefly in the dressing before adding herbs and seeds.
