This vibrant Moroccan-inspired carrot salad combines fresh ingredients with a zesty dressing for a refreshing and flavorful side dish.
Peel and grate the carrots into a large bowl.
Grating the carrots finely ensures they absorb the dressing better.
Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and parsley, and add them to the bowl with the carrots.
Use a sharp knife to achieve uniform pieces for a better texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lemon, olive oil, ground pepper, and sea salt to create the dressing.
Whisking the dressing thoroughly ensures it emulsifies for a smooth texture.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the herbs.
Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with a sprig of parsley for an elegant presentation.
