My Go-To Carrot Salad

Everyone always needs something quick to grab in the fridge. Whether its a snack or a lunch I know that I am always on the go. Before I was given this amazing recipe, I would always grab things I wish I hadn't. Now, with this carrot salad, it is always in my fridge for a quick fix. And funny thing is, I actually dislike carrots very much. But the lemon in the recipe cuts the sweetness of the carrots and surprisingly enough, I love it!




Ingredients:

1- 1/2 pound carrots
1- handful fresh chopped parsley
1- 1/2 lemon squeezed
1- 1/4 cup raw pine nuts or  raw sunflower seeds
3- tablespoons olive oil
1- pinch salt to taste


Steps:

1. Shred carrots (Either with a food processor or a cheese grater)
2. Place in bowl
3. Toast Pine nuts or sunflower seeds in pan. Move around until golden brown.
4. Put nuts/seeds in bowl with carrots.
5. Add all other ingredients.
6. Mix and Enjoy.
