This is a beautiful salad, a little like slaw but lighter and fresher, with a citrusy agave dressing instead of a creamy one. Try to get the matchsticks as thin as possible but avoid using a box grater or you will end up with salad mush.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 30 g (1 oz) sultanas (golden raisins

Method

Combine the carrots, sultanas and orange juice in a bowl and leave to soak for 15 minutes. Drain well, discard the juice and squeeze out excess liquid. Meanwhile, whisk together the dressing ingredients.

In a shallow serving bowl, combine the carrots, sultanas, pistachio nuts, beetroot, capsicum and herbs. Gently toss with just enough of the dressing to coat. Serve immediately.
