Ingredients

• 4 pieces large carrots
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp agave
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp ground coriander
• 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper
• 0.25 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Wash and peel the large carrots. Trim the ends and cut each carrot in half to make them easier to handle.
2. Using the thinnest setting on a mandolin, slice the carrots into ribbons.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, fresh lime juice, agave, olive oil, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt until the mixture is emulsified.
4. Combine the carrot ribbons, chopped parsley, and sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss to coat evenly.
5. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the dressing to soften the carrot ribbons and meld the flavors.
