Ingredients

4 large carrots, peeled and grated

1/2 cup raisins, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped

1/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Begin by soaking the raisins in warm water for about 10 minutes. This will soften them and enhance their natural sweetness. Drain and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrots.

Stir in the soaked raisins, finely chopped parsley, and mint into the bowl with the carrots. Mix well to combine.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients well.

Finally, sprinkle the chopped almonds over the salad and give it one last gentle toss.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
