Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrot slices and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender but still slightly crisp. Drain and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Add the cooled carrots to the bowl and toss to coat them in the dressing.
Stir in the chopped parsley, coriander, and mint leaves.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra flavour, you can toast the sesame seeds before adding them to the salad. This salad can be served chilled or at room temperature.
