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.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound Grated Carrots (trimmed, peeled equivalent to 4 cups, 10 medium carrots)
1/2 cup Golden Dried Raisins

Steps:

  • First, add the nuts and seeds in a non-stick frypan and toast for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt. Remove from heat and cool down in a bowl.
  • Trim, peel carrots - I use about 10 small carrots for this recipe.
  • Grate on the small grater attachment of your food processor or hand grater.
  • Place the grated carrot in a large salad bowl. Set aside in the fridge.
  • Make the salad dressing: add all the salad dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside at room temperature.
  • To assemble the salad, top the grated carrots with dried raisins, chopped fresh parsley, toasted seeds, and nuts and add the dressing all over. Stir to evenly blend flavors.
  • Refrigerate an hour to increase flavor or serve immediately.

I came up with this as a side for a fish curry we ate last night. I have a hand held tool that shreds carrots in long strips. You could just grate the carrot if you don't have the same. I'm in a remote area so used dried mint, feel free to use fresh as I would if I could get it!

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.
