Carrot, Cumin & Cashew Salad

This salad is packed full of nutty, seedy, veggie goodness. It's the perfect accompaniment to.....well, anything! 

Ingredients
5 carrots (grated)
½ red onion (sliced)
2 tbsp cashew nuts
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp olive oil
½ lemon (juiced)
1 tsp english mustard
salt & pepper
handful of parsley (chopped) 


Begin by dry-roasting the cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds and cumin seeds. Place them all in  a frying pan on a high heat, until the nuts are beginning to brown. Make the dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and seasoning together. Blend grated carrots, red onion, nuts, seeds, parsley and dressing ingredients together in a big salad bowl. It's ready.
