This vibrant and flavorful carrot salad combines fresh ingredients with a touch of spice, making it a perfect side dish for any occasion.
Grate all the carrots into thin shreds and place them in a mixing bowl.
Using a box grater can make shredding the carrots quick and easy.
Add the minced garlic, chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the carrots.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and let the salad sit at room temperature for an hour or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Allowing the salad to rest enhances the flavor as the ingredients meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the fresh mint over the salad and give it a final toss.
Adding the mint just before serving keeps it fresh and vibrant.
Serve the salad as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
Pair with a main course for a complete meal.
