LOURO'S ROASTED HEIRLOOM CARROT SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING

Louro's Roasted Heirloom Carrot Salad With Miso Dressing image

In this sophisticated but dead simple salad, multicolored heirloom carrots are roasted until tender and lightly glazed, then set on top of a smear of savory, salty miso dressing. The only other element is a sprinkling of fresh scallion, which adds crispness and brightness. Serve it on the side with a roasted chicken, or as an appetizer all by itself.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

12 carrots (preferably 3 or 4 different colors), washed and trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil, more for drizzling
3 teaspoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup of shiro (white) miso
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons mirin
3 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut carrots into 2-inch diagonal pieces. If using different colors, keep carrots separate so the colors don't bleed into each other. Toss carrots with olive oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt and pepper. Lay carrots on a large baking sheet in one layer and roast until just tender but not mushy, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile, place miso, vinegar, mirin and remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Smear dressing thinly on each plate and arrange carrots attractively on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with scallions and serve.
