Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil

- Carrot: 2 large carrots, cut into thin sticks or grated
- Lemon: juice 1 lemon or lime

Directions
- Tip the carrots and fennel into a salad bowl. Toast the nuts in a hot frying pan for 3-5 mins until golden, then tip onto a plate. In the same pan, heat the oil and fry the mustard and nigella or black onion seeds, if using, until they begin to pop - about 30 secs. Pour in the lemon or lime juice and mix together to make a dressing. Toss together with the vegetables in the bowl, then sprinkle with nuts to serve.
