Yield 6 (as a side dish)

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest and 3 tablespoons lemon juice, from one large lemon
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, from one large orange
1½ tablespoons honey
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled and shredded
⅓ cup currants
½ cup slivered almonds, toasted (see note below)
½ cup chopped fresh mint or cilantro (or a combination), plus more for serving
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons finely minced shallots, from one large shallot
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl (large enough to mix the entire salad), whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing.
  • To the dressing, add all of the ingredients for the salad and toss well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to a few hours. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (you might need more salt, lemon or honey, depending on the sweetness of the carrots). Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with more fresh chopped herbs. Serve cold.
  • Note: To toast the almonds, preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the almonds on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy clean-up. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the almonds are golden.

CLASSIC CARROT SALAD



Classic Carrot Salad image

Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.
