🛒 Ingredients

✓ 4 large carrots (about 500g), julienned or grated
✓ 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
✓ 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
✓ 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
✓ 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
✓ 1 tbsp pomegranate arils (optional)
✓ Sea salt to taste
✓ Cracked black pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Carrots: Wash and peel carrots. Using a julienne peeler or box grater, create thin ribbons or matchsticks. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

2. Slice the Red Onion: Cut red onion in half lengthwise, then slice thinly against the grain. Add to carrot bowl. This releases natural sweetness and reduces harshness.

3. Make the Dressing Base: In a small bowl, whisk tahini and tahini powder together. Slowly add Greek yogurt, stirring until smooth and no lumps remain.

4. Add Citrus and Spices: Pour in lemon juice and orange juice, whisking continuously. Add cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne. Taste and adjust spice level—add more cayenne for heat if desired.

5. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour dressing over carrot mixture. Using two wooden spoons or salad tongs, toss gently but thoroughly for 2–3 minutes until every strand is coated.

6. Rest and Flavor Meld: Let the salad sit for 10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the carrots to soften slightly and the spices to integrate fully.

7. Season and Garnish: Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Top with fresh cilantro, parsley, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pomegranate arils for color and crunch.

8. Serve Immediately: Divide into two bowls and serve slightly chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled chicken, spiced chickpeas, or crispy tofu.
