Carrot And Parsley Salad Recipes

FRENCH CARROT SALAD

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.

MOROCCAN CARROT SALAD WITH PARSLEY AND ROASTED LEMON

Steps:

• Place the lemon pieces in a cold skillet. Add a generous amount of oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat over low heat until the rinds soften and begin to brown and caramelize, about 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper. While whisking, pour 1/4 cup olive oil in a thin stream until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Add the carrots, parsley, and pine nuts. Remove the caramelized lemon to the bowl using a slotted spoon. Toss and taste for seasoning. Drizzle in some of the lemon infused oil, to taste.
• Store in the refrigerator until serving time.

CARROT AND PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and wash the carrots. Using a grater, grate them into threads.
• Pick the leaves off the parsley. Wash, dry and chop the leaves.
• Peel the garlic. Stand a fork up in a bowl and rub the garlic back and forth against the tines of the fork to puree it. Add the vinegar and oil, and mix together.
• Stir in the carrots and parsley. Season with salt, and mix well.
