Directions
- Wash and peel the carrots. Continue peeling lengthwise to create thin ribbons, stopping when you reach the core.
- Repeat with the cucumber.
- Place the carrot and cucumber ribbons into a large serving bowl.
- Add the red onion, parsley, mint, feta, pistachios, and seeds.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss so the ribbons stay intact.
- Let the salad rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
* Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
* Add cooked chickpeas or grilled chicken to make it a complete meal.
* For extra sweetness, toss in a handful of dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds.
* This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it’s crunchiest the day it’s is made.
