Step 1

Add the olive oil, cinnamon, cumin, salt, pepper, honey, and orange juice into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to blend well, until the salt is dissolved. The dressing will be a dark brown color because of the cumin and cinnamon.

Step 2

Taste the dressing with a fork and adjust the ingredients if you want it a little more sweet (honey) or fruity (orange juice).

Step 3

Add the shredded carrots and fresh orange pieces and stir with a rubber spatula to blend the salad.

Step 4

Top with fresh mint leaves before serving.
