Za'atar Carrot Salad
Melissa Ben-Ishay
The perfect carrot salad to make as a dinner side and save for later to make bowls with your leftovers. Fair warning—it makes a lot of salad, so feel free to halve or even quarter this recipe if you don't want to make as much.
Ingredients
- 16 carrots
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 2 heaping tablespoons za’atar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Peel the carrots, then grate them with a box grater, julienne peeler, or food processor. (Food processor is fastest, but the carrots were a bit too thin for my liking).
Add the carrots to a bowl and add the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, za’atar, sesame seeds, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve in a bowl, in a pita, or as a dinner side. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to eat throughout the week.
