Carrot Ribbon Salad With Ginger, Parsley, and Dates image

This salad evolved from my father's favorite road-trip snack-carrot sticks with roasted almonds, lemon juice, and salt. I've punched it up with fresh ginger, lots of parsley, and dates.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound medium carrots (about 6), preferably rainbow
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
¾ teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup roasted salted almonds, coarsely chopped
6 large Medjool dates, pitted and thinly sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into long, thin slices, watching out for your fingers. Soak, along with any remaining carrot nubs, in a bowl of ice water until the slices curl, about 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • In a large salad bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, ginger, honey, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Add the carrots, parsley, half the almonds, and half the dates and toss to combine. Adjust the salt to taste.
  • Top the salad with the remaining almonds and dates and serve.
