Ingredients

  • 6 med carrots, washed and peeled
  • large handful of fresh coriander leaves
  • 4 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Dressing

  • zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 2 lemons
  • olive oil
  • 2 heaped tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • sea salt and ground black pepper

Method

  • Slice carrots (using food processor). Put into salad bowl with coriander and sesame seeds.
  • To make dressing, finely grate zest of orange into a bowl. Add orange juice, juice of 1 1/2 lemons, and about 2 times that amount of olive oil. (Jamie Oliver says to use 4 times the amount, but I reckon this is a bit too much.) Lightly pound the toasted sesame seeds to a pulp in mortar and pestle, and add to dressing. Mix well and season with salt and pepper, and more lemon juice to make zingy.
  • Eat straight away.
