1Place carrots in a large bowl, season generously with salt, and orange juice and toss to coat. Marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the blood oranges

Alternatively, if using pumpkin seeds, roast on a tray dotted with Nuttelex in oven for 5-8 minutes, (watch as they can burn quickly) remove from tray and and season with a little salt
4Massage the marinating carrots with your hands and check the seasoning, shake off excess salt if required
5Whisk olive oil and sherry vinegar together and add to carrots, add rocket leaves and toss well
6Transfer to a serving bowl or platter, arrange blood orange rounds and scatter with sautéed flaked almonds (or pumpkin seeds)
