Share recipe:

Ingredients

1 small red onion, sliced
½ cup sultanas
½ bunch coriander, chopped
4 large carrots, peeled
1 lemon, juiced
1 tsp honey
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp olive oil
Freshly cracked pepper to taste

Tips

  • Carrots provide beta carotene. Beta carotene is important for normal vision.   
  • Sultanas provide natural sweetness with the benefit of a fibre boost. 
  • With vegetables and sultanas, this recipe is a good source of fibre. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer. 

  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ carrots to help reduce food waste. 
  • Leftover coriander can be wrapped in a clean damp cloth and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Wash it before you use it. 
  • Reduce waste and don’t peel the carrots. Just wash well. 

  • Bottled lemon juice can be used to save time and money. 
  • To save money try growing your own herbs, like coriander, in the garden or in pots. 

Method

Step 1
Place the onion, sultanas and coriander in a large bowl.

Step 2
Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrots into ribbons and add to the bowl.

Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, cumin, olive oil and pepper.

Step 4
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture.

Serving suggestion: this salad will be tastier if allowed to sit in the fridge for a few hours so the flavours can develop
