Notes
- If you're not a fan of coriander, you could swap it for fresh chopped parsley instead.
- If you want to make this more of a filling salad, then add some cooked brown rice or some quinoa.
- Make this side salad in to a full meal by following the above and then topping it with some grilled chicken breast or some cooked halloumi.
- Add a little bit of spice by sprinkling some red chilli flakes on top before serving.
- This salad is already fairly sweet from the carrots (even more so if they are freshly grown), but you could make it even sweeter by adding a drizzle of honey.
- Carrot salad with raisins - raisins (or even sultanas) are a great addition to this and it then goes really well with a chicken korma.
