Sunburst Carrot Salad Recipe
- 2 bunches carrots, preferably spring carrots
- extra virgin olive oil
- fine grain sea salt
- 1 green chile, deveined and minced (serrano)
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup green pumpkin seeds, toasted (pepitas)
- Start by washing the carrots.
- Use a vegetable peeler to shave each carrot into wide ribbons.
- If your carrots have beat up, dirty skins, peel them first before making ribbons.
- Heat a big splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add a big pinch of salt and stir in the carrot ribbons.
- Saute for just 20 seconds or so - barely long enough to take the raw edge and a bit of crunch off the carrots.
- Quickly stir in the chiles and lemon zest.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro, about one tablespoon of lemon juice, and then most of the pepitas.
- Taste.
- Add more salt and/or lemon juice if needed.
- Garnish with remaining pepitas.
