Step 1

Start by washing and peeling your carrots. Trim off the bottom and top and then use a mandolin to thinly slice the carrots. If you don’t have a mandolin, you can just use a sharp chef knife and try to cut the carrots as thinly as possible. Add the carrots to a medium sized bowl.

Step 2

Next, add in the chickpeas, red onion, fresh herbs and sunflower seeds.

Step 3

Make the dressing by adding all dressing ingredients to a jar, or small bowl, and mixing until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 4

Pour dressing over carrot salad and mix well. Enjoy as a side dish or snack!
