How to Make Sultan's Tent Carrot Salad

  1. Steam 1 pound of carrots until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, roast or pan-fry the carrots for a deeper, richer flavor (about 8-10 minutes at 400°F/200°C).
  2. While the carrots cool slightly, whisk together the dressing ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the cooled carrots to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Let the salad marinate for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. To serve warm, gently reheat the carrots and dressing in a pan over low heat until heated through.
  5. Serve on plates and garnish with extra cilantro or toasted slivered almonds (optional). Enjoy!
