- ✓1 small Shallot, finely minced
- ✓0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- ✓0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- ✓3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- ✓2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- ✓0.33 cup Toasted slivered almonds
- ✓0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves, torn
- ✓to taste Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and smoked paprika until the dressing is emulsified.
💡 Tip: Use a high-quality cold-pressed olive oil for a richer depth of flavor.
Add the grated carrots and minced shallot to the dressing, tossing thoroughly to ensure every strand is coated.
💡 Tip: Letting the carrots macerate for 20 minutes before serving softens them just enough while maintaining a satisfying crunch.
Fold in the toasted slivered almonds and fresh mint immediately before serving to preserve their texture and vibrancy.
💡 Tip: If preparing in advance, store the toasted nuts separately and add them at the final moment.
