How to Make Spicy Carrot Salad
- Top and tail 1 pound of carrots. Scrub or scrape off the skin as needed.
- Place whole carrots in a saucepan and cover with 4 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
- Leave the carrots to soak in the cooking water for 1 hour.
- Once cool, drain the carrots and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices or chunks.
- Return carrots to the pan. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Garnish with 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley before serving.
