Preparation

1. Put the carrots in a saucepan with water to cover, bring to a boil and simmer about 15 minutes, until the carrots are tender but slightly firm. Drain the carrots and put in a bowl.
2. Add the lemon juice and mix well. Combine the cumin, coriander, sugar and salt in a small dish, mix, then add to the carrots. Toss well. Season with pepper and fold in the olive oil and fresh coriander.
3. Cover and allow to marinate at least six hours before serving.

• This salad can be made with grated raw carrots instead of cooked carrots. The dressing is the same.
