Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons finely snipped chives or chopped green onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Optional: 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained, or 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • To prepare the carrots: You can grate them on the large holes of a box grater, or use short strokes with a julienne peeler, or process them in a food processor fitted with a grating attachment. You'll end up with about 3 cups grated carrots.
  • Place the carrots in a medium serving bowl. Add the chives, parsley and optional chickpeas to the bowl.
  • To make the dressing, whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until completely blended.
  • Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and stir until the mixture is evenly coated in dressing. For best flavor, allow the salad to marinate for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again before serving. This salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days.

CARROT SALAD WITH CUMIN AND CORIANDER



Carrot Salad With Cumin and Coriander image

These lemony carrots taste lovely just as the recipe is written, perfumed with toasted cumin and coriander, a hint of garlic, and a touch of cayenne. This recipe draws its inspiration from Moroccan carrot salads, many of which use cooked vegetables, but this version uses slivered raw carrots instead. But if you want to splash out, try a pinch of cinnamon, and top with lots of fluffy chopped cilantro and thinly sliced jalapeƱo. Or add crumbled feta and olives. For the best-looking salad, use the julienne blade of a food processor, or cut the carrots into thin matchstick shapes with a sharp knife. The large holes of a box grater will work, too, but the result won't be quite as attractive. (But avoid those supermarket bags of pre-grated carrots. They're not suitable here.)

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound carrots (about 8 medium), peeled and trimmed
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
1 teaspoon whole coriander seed
1 teaspoon whole fennel seed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, more to taste
Large pinch cayenne
4 medium blood oranges
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste
2 cups baby arugula
1/4 cup pitted, oil-cured olives, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Quarter the carrots lengthwise and cut each length crosswise into 2-inch chunks. With a mortar and pestle or using the side of a knife, lightly crush the cumin, coriander and fennel. Spread carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil, crushed spices, 3/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne. Transfer to oven and roast, tossing occasionally, until carrots are tender and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, grate zest of 1 orange into a small bowl. Whisk in garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Slice the tops and bottoms from each orange. Stand each orange on a flat surface and slice away the rind and pith, top to bottom, following curve of the fruit. Hold oranges over a large bowl and slice away fruit between the membranes, releasing segments into the bowl.
  • Toss carrots, arugula and olives into the bowl. Gently toss in dressing. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if necessary.
