This is one of my favorite salads this time of year. It is
cheerful in every way, bright in color and flavor. Truthfully, I hesitate to
even call this a recipe but what the hay. I’m giving approximate quantities
here but this is the kind of thing that you’ll truly want to adjust to your
taste. For example, I’m a sucker for lemon so I like to use the juice from at
least one large one, if not one and a half.
My vegetable peeler is serrated which I think is swell
because my carrots really hang onto the dressing but your salad certainly won’t
suffer for lack of serrated peeler.
Salad
Carrots- I use 5-6 medium sized carrots for 2 healthy
servings.
Parsley- Italian or curly will do just fine, use as much or
little as you fancy.
Dressing
Tahini (1-2 Tbsp)
Lemon juice (about one lemon)
Salt (a pinch or two)
Olive oil (1-2 Tbsp)
Fresh Garlic (optional, about 1 clove finely chopped)
Method
Salad: Peel your carrots, and keep on peeling until you have
a big ol’ heap of carrot ribbons in your salad bowl. Chop your preferred
quantity of parsley as finely or roughly as you prefer, add to the carrots.
Dressing: Combine ingredients in a jar, put a lid on it and
shake it like you mean it. Pour over carrots, toss, and dig in.
P.S. I ended up adding sliced avocado to this salad and it
was super!
