- Soak the onion: Chop the white onion and place it into a bowl of cold water to soak for 15 minutes. After soaking, drain and pat the onions dry with a paper towel.
- Blend the dressing: Add the soaked onion, garlic cloves, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and cumin into a food processor or mini-chopper. Pulse until finely chopped.

Soaking the onion reduces pungency and enhances the salad's flavors. Chilling the salad before serving melds the flavors beautifully. Use freshly grated carrots for the best texture and flavor.
