Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • as needed Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Preparation
  1. Wash the carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them using a vegetable peeler, creating long, thin ribbons. If the ribbons are too long, cut them into shorter, bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. In the bowl with the dressing, add the carrot ribbons and toss gently to ensure they are well coated.
  4. Transfer the dressed carrot ribbons to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

For variations, consider adding protein like grilled chicken or chickpeas, experimenting with different dressings, or incorporating other vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
