Shaved Carrot Salad with Beluga Lentils and Toasted Almonds

Author Notes: This beautiful carrot salad has earthy flavors from the Moroccan spices and beluga lentils, but a brightness from the mint, parsley, and lemon. It is perfect for the warmer months either served alone or atop crostini with goat cheese —Emily

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2

    cup beluga lentils
  • 1/4

    cup raw almonds
  • 1

    pound carrots, washed and peeled
  • 1/2

    teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8

    teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2

    teaspoon salt
  • 1

    lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1

    teaspoon pomegranate molasses or honey
  • 2

    tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4

    cup fresh mint, washed, dried, and chopped
  • 1/4

    cup fresh Italian parsley, washed, dried, and chopped

Directions

  1. Begin with the lentils. Place the lentils in a small pot and cover with water by 1-2 inches. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, cooking for 15-18 minutes uncovered or until lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the almonds. Place the almonds in a skillet over medium- low heat and toast for 8-10 minutes or until almonds are toasted, shaking pan often. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and roughly chop. Set aside.
  3. Shave the carrots into a bowl using a vegetable peeler. I find it easiest to shave from the top to the bottom first as you rotate the carrot and then flip the carrot upside down and continue the process. I found I was able to shave the most carrots this way.
  4. Make the vinaigrette. Combine the cumin, cinnamon, salt, lemon zest and juice, pomegranate molasses, and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl and whisk until combined.
  5. In a bowl, combine the carrots, lentils, mint, parsley, and dressing, and toss to combine. Taste to adjust for salt. Toss in the almonds right before serving.
