Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb carrot
1 orange
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped cilantro or 1 tbsp flat leaf parsley
1 tsp ground cumin
1 -2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp harissa or 1 pinch cayenne
kalamata olive (optional)
toasted pine nuts (optional)

Directions:

Juice the orange. Scrub the carrots clean and slice them diagonally into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place them in a medium sized pot and pour all but 1 tablespoon of the orange juice on top. Fill the pot with just enough water to cover the carrots. Simmer the carrots on low heat for about 15 minutes. They should be just tender - not at all mushy.
Remove the carrots from the heat, drain off the water, and allow to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, reserved orange juice, chopped cilantro or parsley, honey, salt, pepper and cayenne. Add more salt, pepper or cayenne pepper to the dressing according to your taste.
When they have cooled, mix the carrots with the dressing and serve or refrigerate.
If desired, add a handful of toasted pine nuts for extra crunch or a handful of Kalamata olives for a salty contrasting flavor.
This salad can be enjoyed either chilled or at room temperature.
