De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Place the sliced carrots in a medium pot and add enough cold water to cover them completely. Add a pinch of salt.
Ongeveer 1 min
2
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer.
Ongeveer 3 min
3
Cook until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork but not mushy, which should take about 6-8 minutes.
Ongeveer 7 min
Tip van de kok: The final texture should have a slight bite, not be completely soft.
4
While the carrots are cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, all spices, salt, pepper, and optional maple syrup in a small bowl.
Ongeveer 3 min
Tip van de kok: Making the dressing while the carrots cook saves time.
5
Drain the cooked carrots thoroughly in a colander and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Ongeveer 1 min
6
Pour the prepared dressing over the warm carrots.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: The warm carrots will absorb the dressing more effectively.
7
Add the chopped fresh parsley and cilantro, then gently toss everything to combine.
Ongeveer 1 min
8
Cover the bowl and let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Ongeveer 30 min
Tip van de kok: For even better flavor, you can refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight.
9
Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled.
