Jono & Jules do food & wine

This is a good side dish to serve with richer dishes. It’s light and zingy which is just what’s needed sometimes. Another great combination of flavours suggested by Sabrina Ghayour. 

Carrot, pistachio & dill salad with lime & honey dressing – serves 4 to 6

• 500g carrots, coarsely grated
• ½ a small red onion, thinly sliced
• 75g pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
• about 30g of dill, finely chopped
• 2 tsp nigella seeds

FOR THE DRESSING: 

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
• 1 generous tbsp of runny honey

Mix all the dressing ingredients together and season well with sea salt and black pepper.

Put the other ingredients into a large bowl. Add the dressing when you’re ready to serve and toss gently to coat. Check the seasoning and serve.
