Summary
This salad highlights the many green herbs that are an essential part of Persian cuisine, especially in spring when they are just coming into season. This salad is a crunchy, raw counterpoint to a rich Passover meal, and while some seeds are not eaten on Passover, pumpkin seeds are okay, since a pumpkin is not a legume.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled, shaved lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
- 1 bunch radishes (approximately 10 radishes), thinly sliced on a mandoline or with a sharp knife
- 4 cups (packed) mixed torn herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, dill, mint, tarragon, and/or basil
- 1/2 cup chopped chives
