Equipment

Ingredients

For the salad…

  • 3 small carrots (approximately 180 grams / 6.35 ounces)
  • 2 large cucumbers (approximately 300 grams / 10.6 ounces)
  • ¼ cup mint leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted

For the dressing…

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • 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.
