Notes

TIP: Use a vegetable peeler to cut carrot into thin ribbons.Flaxseed oil has a nutty flavour and is rich in essential fatty acids. It is sold in the health-food section of most supermarkets or health-food stores and should be stored in the fridge and not heated (it will damage the healthy fats). If unavailable you can use canola or sunflower oil.
