Wash and trim carrots and cucumbers
Peel your carrots and cut them into julienne strips with the julienne attachment on your mandoline / v-slicer.
No need to peel the cucumber, but when you're cutting them into julienne strips, cut around the seeds and discard them afterwards.
Place your vinaigrette ingredients in a glass jar, season and shake until emulsified.
Put all your ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
Arrange in a salad bowl and serve with some extra mint leaves on top to garnish.
