Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 carrots
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 handful mint leaves
  • ½ bunch parsley
  • juice of ½ a lemon
  • extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Equipment

  • mandoline or box grater
  • knife for chopping

Method
 

  1. Grate or julienne the carrots and put them in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and lemon juice. Toss and squeeze.
  2. Peel the onion and chop it in half so you can slice it flat-side down, as thinly as you can. (If you have dodgy knife skills, use a mandoline or forget the onion—no one wants hamburger rings.)
  3. Roughly chop the herbs. Add onions and herbs to the bowl and toss. Taste again, drizzle with a little olive oil.
  4. Eat with Brothy Spiced Meatballs, or with chunks of feta.
