Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup pistachios
1 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 small beets (any color), peeled, thinly sliced on a mandoline
4 medium carrots, peeled, shaved lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
Lemon juice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss pistachios and 1 tsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast, tossing once, until pistachios are golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Meanwhile, bring curry powder and remaining 1/2 cup oil to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally. Let cool.
  • Blend garlic, vinegar, and mustard in a blender, then, with motor running, stream in curry oil. Blend until dressing is very smooth and thick; season with salt.
  • Toss beets and half of dressing in a medium bowl; season with salt. Let sit until beets soften slightly, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add carrots and remaining dressing and toss to combine; season with salt and lemon juice. Serve topped with pistachios.
  • Do Ahead
  • Curry dressing can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

The salad was a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some more seasoning.

The salad was good, but the dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would try it again with a different dressing.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought curry dressing, and it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.
