Carrot and Cumin Salad

A 6-ingredient salad that is so much more than the sum of its parts. Make a batch at the start of the weekend to add to salads, wraps and sandwiches f...or quick lunch options.

The cooking method transforms these seemingly humble ingredients. Steaming brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and ensures a perfectly tender texture. Dressing the carrots while still hot allows them to soak up the flavour from the dressing, and gently cooks the garlic, removing its burn.
