Moroccan Shaved Carrot Salad

Every time I come across a bunch of rainbow carrots i know i’ll be making this salad.  The colors are so pretty, the crunch of carrots feels good, and the seasoning is just divine.

Ingredients

• 1 lbs peeled carrots ( multi colored are very pretty, but orange are fine too.)
• 3 T pomegranate vinegar ( or substitute 2 T red wine vinegar)
• 2 T olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• Cracked pepper
• 1 tsp balzamic glaze
• ¼ C hemp seeds
• ¼ C chopped fresh mint
• ¼ C chopped chives or scallions
• Sprinkling of toasted Caraway Seeds or Cumin Seeds( optional, but delicious!)

Instructions

1. Peel the carrots.
   
2. Using a vegetable peeler, shave each carrot into long paper thin strips.
   
3. Place carrot shavings into a medium bowl.
   
4. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss well to coat.
   
5. Chill until ready to serve.
