Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, grated

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Begin by cleaning and peeling the carrots. Grate them using a box grater or food processor and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

    Add the raisins and sunflower seeds to the grated carrots. These will provide sweetness and crunch to the salad.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ground cumin, cayenne pepper, honey, lemon juice, and olive oil until well combined.

        Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure the carrots and the dressing are evenly coated.

          Toss in the chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed for your preference.

            Let the salad sit for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
