Crispy flatbread, pappadams, or crackers
Directions
1. Place the carrots in a bowl. Add the chopped herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss together well. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, squeeze in the juice from the lemon half, and toss again so everything is well coated.
2. Place the mixed seeds in a hot, dry frying pan. Toss and toast them for a minute. Once toasted, sprinkle the seeds on the salad.
3. Peel 2 or 3 small clementines and cut into thick slices. Either toss them into your salad or lay a few slices on a serving platter and pile the salad on top.
4. Break the flatbread into small pieces. Toss into the salad or sprinkle over the top. Makes 6 servings.

I made this as part of an Easter meal for 150 people. It was the biggest hit of the day. So delicious. Everyone was asking for the recipe. One stodgy old guy said, "Carrots aren't supposed to taste that good. Whatever you did to them must've been some sprinkling of magic somethin." LOL! Planning on making it again tonight for a neighborhood planning meeting. Need to copy it down into my official cookbook. Thanks Jamie for the beautiful, healthy addition to my families lives. =)
