Steps:

Boil the carrots whole in lightly salted water for 8-10 minutes until just tender (or steam, if you prefer).
While the carrots are boiling, use a pestle and mortar to mash the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then add the cumin seeds and pound a little more to combine. Stir in the honey and lemon juice.
Drain the carrots, leave until cool enough to handle, then slice on the diagonal and tip into a salad bowl. Toss the dressing thoroughly with the warm carrots, scatter over the raisins and pine nuts, then drizzle with the olive oil. If you have time, allow the carrots to stand at room temperature for an hour or so, for all the flavours to come together. Just before serving, toss through the coriander.

CLASSIC CARROT SALAD

Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.
