Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lemon Carrot Salad with Mushrooms.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients. You'll need a package of baby carrots, some fresh mushrooms, and a few spices to bring out the flavors. It's all about simplicity and freshness here!
Step 2
In a pot, combine the baby carrots and sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle in the ground cumin and coriander for that warm, aromatic touch. Now, pour in enough water to just cover the mixture. This will help cook the carrots to perfection.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. You want them soft but not mushy, so keep an eye on them!
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the mixture and transfer the vibrant carrots and mushrooms to a large bowl. This is where the magic happens!
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic and lemon juice. This zesty dressing will elevate your salad. Drizzle it over the carrot and mushroom mixture, ensuring every piece gets a lovely coating.
Step 6
Gently stir everything together, making sure the flavors meld beautifully. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. This salad is all about balance!
Step 7
Serve your zesty lemon carrot salad warm or at room temperature. It's a delightful side dish that pairs well with grilled meats or can be enjoyed on its own as a light lunch.
