Ingredients
  

4 medium carrots (varied colors: orange, purple, yellow)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by washing the carrots thoroughly. Peel them using a vegetable peeler.

    Using the vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into thin ribbons and place them in a large mixing bowl.

      In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.

        Pour the dressing over the shaved carrots and toss gently to ensure all the carrot ribbons are coated evenly.

          Add the chopped parsley and toss it in again for freshness and color.

            Finally, sprinkle the toasted sunflower seeds and feta cheese (if using) over the salad and give it a final gentle toss just to combine.

              Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
