Prepare the carrot greens by picking out any browned leaves, then cutting the feathery leaves from the long green stems (and discard the stems). Soak them in a bowl of water for a few minutes, then rinse. Repeat. Shake the excess water from the carrot tops, then dry in a salad spinner or gently in a clean tea towel.
Finely chop the carrot tops, mince the garlic and zest the lemon.
Add the carrot tops and all remaining ingredients to a small bowl and stir well to combine. Keep, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days.
