Rainbow Carrot Ribbon Salad Recipes

FRISéE AND CARROT RIBBON SALAD WITH ZA'ATAR-LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast pistachios, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and 1 tsp. za'atar in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. kosher salt. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool and set aside.
• Add honey and 1 tsp. za'atar to lemon mixture and whisk to combine, then whisk in 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream.
• Place frisée, carrots, parsley, 3/4 cup grapes, and half of the pistachios in a large bowl and drizzle with vinaigrette. Gently toss until frisée is evenly dressed; season with sea salt and pepper. Top with remaining pistachios and 3/4 cup grapes.

SPICE-ROASTED RAINBOW CARROT SALAD WITH HERBED YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine the carrots, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, ginger, salt, coffee and coriander in a large bowl and toss to coat the carrots thoroughly. Spread in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, being sure not to crowd them.
• Roast until the carrots are tender and browned around the edges, about 25 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
• Whisk together the lime zest and juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Add the carrots and toss to coat with the dressing.
• Spread the Herbed Yogurt Dressing onto the base of a serving platter. Arrange the carrots on top of the yogurt and sprinkle with the almonds and tender carrot tops. Serve immediately.
• Combine the yogurt, chives, dill, salt and hot sauce in a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Makes 1 cup.

ROASTED RAINBOW CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the carrots, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a baking sheet; arrange in a single layer. Roast, turning once, until tender and slightly browned, 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and chopped chives.

CARROT RIBBON SALAD WITH GINGER, PARSLEY, AND DATES

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.
