1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch-by-2-inch sticks
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
Toast the cumin in a heavy skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan, about 30 seconds. Put the seeds on a work surface, cover with plastic wrap and crush the seeds with a rolling pin.
- Step 2
Put the orange juice in a bowl and whisk in the cumin seeds, mustard, salt, pepper and vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil. Set aside.

Steam the carrots until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss the hot carrots in the vinaigrette. Let cool to room temperature. To serve, divide the carrots and vinaigrette among 4 plates and sprinkle with parsley.
