Best Carrot And Beet Slaw With Pistachios And Raisins Recipes

CRUNCHY BEET CARROT SLAW

Steps:

• Wash the beet and carrots well. If the skin looks smooth and clean, leave it on. If it looks rough and dry, peel it off. Shred the beets and carrots and place in a salad bowl.
• Toast the almonds over medium heat in a small dry skillet. Then pour them on a paper towel to cool. Add the chopped mint and sultanas to the salad bowl. Add the almonds once they are cool.
• In a small bowl whisk together the oil, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Pour over the slaw and toss well. Taste, then season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

CARROT RAISIN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the first 4 ingredients. Stir in enough milk to reach desired consistency. Refrigerate until serving.

BEET AND CARROT QUICK SLAW

Steps:

• In a small non-reactive bowl whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, celery seed, sugar, salt and olive oil. Season with pepper. Place beets, carrots and parsley in large serving bowl, pour dressing over salad, toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.

CARROT AND PISTACHIO SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the apricots to a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then turn off the heat and let the apricots slightly soften, 3 to 5 minutes; strain and set aside.
• Spread the pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until lightly browned and fragrant, 7 or 8 minutes; set aside.
• Whisk the oil and vinegar in a medium bowl.
• Shred the carrots on the large holes of a box grater. You can control the size of the shreds by changing the angle of the carrot; a more severe angle will create longer slices, whereas holding the carrot perpendicular to the holes will yield shorter, choppier pieces. Add the carrots and softened apricots to the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss thoroughly to combine. Refrigerate the salad, covered, until the vinaigrette has been absorbed, up to 2 hours.
• Chop the pistachios and add to the salad just before serving.

BEET AND CARROT SLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, vinegar, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Cut greens off beets; discard stems and cut leaves into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Peel and grate beets; place in a strainer and rinse until water runs clear, then squeeze dry with a paper towel. Add to bowl along with beet leaves and carrots. Toss to combine. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
