Soak the Sultanas: Start by soaking the sultanas in hot water for 5 minutes. This will plump them up and make them juicier.
Prepare the Vegetables: While the sultanas are soaking, grate the carrots and finely chop the garlic, spring onions, coriander, mint, and celery.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the grated carrots, chopped garlic, sesame seeds, soaked sultanas, spring onions, coriander, mint, and celery. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Dress the Slaw: Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are well coated.
Season: Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish. This slaw pairs wonderfully with chicken wings or drumsticks for a complete meal.
