Ingredients:
| 4 to 5 | large carrots |
| sprig | fresh mint |
| sprig | fresh cilantro or fresh chives |
| sea salt | |
| freshly ground black pepper | |
| 6 tablespoons | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 2 tablespoons | lemon juice |
| handful mixed seeds | |
| 2 or 3 | small clementines |
| croutons of choice | |
| feta or goat cheese |
Directions:
Peel 4 or 5 large carrots and grate them into a bowl. Pick the leaves off a few sprigs of fresh mint and cilantro and finely chop them—you can also use fresh chives. Add them to the bowl and toss with the carrots. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 6 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil and 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice and mix well. Serve right away, as it is, or let it start evolving...
Put a good handful of mixed seeds into a hot, dry frying pan and toss and toast them for a minute. Once toasted, sprinkle the seeds on to your salad. Peel 2 or 3 small clementines and cut into nice thick slices. Either toss these slices into your salad, or lay a few slices on a serving platter and pile the carrot salad on top.
Sprinkle croutons over the top.
Crumble over some feta or goat cheese on top.
