Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the whole carrots (cut them in half if they don't fit in the pot) and cook until just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain and cut carrots into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified and stir in the parsley.
Add the cooked carrots and toss to combine.
Serve cold or at room temperature.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Salad on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Maison de la Villette Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Maison de la Villette Chardonnay
Lovely golden color with a subtle nose of white flowers and citrus. A refreshing and complex white wine with lemon pie, fresh banana and pear scents followed by roasted hints of praline, vanilla and candied chestnuts. Perfect served on its own as an aperitif or with seafood, grilled fishes and salads.10 to 12 day fermentation with both French and American oak is followed by a soft 6 month maturation on the wine’s natural lies. About half of the final blend completes malolactic fermentation, which allows to keep some natural acidity. An early bottling allows to capture freshness and primary flavors.
