Steps:
- To prepare the carrots: You can grate them on the large holes of a box grater, or use short strokes with a julienne peeler, or process them in a food processor fitted with a grating attachment. You'll end up with about 3 cups grated carrots.
- Place the carrots in a medium serving bowl. Add the chives, parsley and optional chickpeas to the bowl.
- To make the dressing, whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until completely blended.
- Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and stir until the mixture is evenly coated in dressing. For best flavor, allow the salad to marinate for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again before serving. This salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days.

YOUNG CARROTS WITH SPRING ONIONS, SUMAC, AND ANCHOVIES
Steps:
- Make the covered-pot carrots and spring onions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F, with a rack in the middle. Toss the carrots and onions with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Lay them out in a single layer in a Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a lid. Cover the pot with foil and seal by placing the lid on top of the foil. Transfer the pot to the oven and cook the vegetables, first checking after 30 minutes for doneness by poking one with a metal skewer. When the vegetables are done, the skewer will slide in and out easily; as soon as they are tender, remove them to a plate to cool. Cut the cooled carrots lengthwise in half.
- Make the herb sauce
- Mix together the remaining two teaspoons of oil, parsley, mint, garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt in a small bowl.
- Put it all together
- Toss the carrots and spring onions with the herb sauce and the juice of the ½ lemon. Lay the carrots and spring onions out on a serving plate. Drape the anchovies over them. Scatter the croutons over and shower with the sumac. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp carrots. This will give your salad the best flavor and texture.

- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if needed.
- Let the salad chill for a while before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
