This easy, no-added-fat summer salad plays the nutty flavor of toasted sunflower seeds against sweet carrots and fresh herbs. Serve it right away or make it the day before.Ingredients:
1 large garlic clove, minced1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus extra to taste
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a knife, crush garlic with salt until a thick paste forms. Place garlic paste in your serving bowl.

Set aside.
