This crunchy carrot salad is lighter, brighter, and not weighed down by mayo. The raw seeds add protein and extra crunch— this makes a great snack or healthy side dish

Notes
You can use whole carrots and grate them for stronger flavor.
Swap out the sunflower seeds with hemp hearts (still nut-free) or sliced almonds.
Does cilantro taste like soap to you? If so, use parsley instead.
Feel free to use the carrots of your choice. When I created this salad for my Plant-Based Cleanse, I used rainbow carrots because they're fun!
