ROASTED CARROT SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND POMEGRANATE



Roasted Carrot Salad With Arugula and Pomegranate image

This composed, bright salad of roasted carrots, thinly sliced fennel and arugula gains a fruity depth from a splash of pomegranate molasses in the dressing. You can find pomegranate molasses in Middle Eastern groceries and specialty food shops, and it's worth seeking out for its complex, sweet-tart acidity. Once opened, it will last for years in your pantry. This salad makes a delightful side dish or light main course, especially if you include the optional toasted walnuts or pita chips, which add a satisfying crunch. If you can find multicolored carrots, this already striking salad becomes even prettier.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths (halve them if carrots are large)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, more to taste
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, more to taste
1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 ounces baby arugula (about 3 cups)
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh dill fronds or mint leaves
Pomegranate seeds, as needed
Yogurt, for serving (optional)
Toasted walnuts or crumbled pita chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss carrots with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until edges are caramelized and carrots are tender, 28 to 33 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with cumin. Let cool for a few minutes while you make the dressing. Carrots should be slightly warm but not hot when tossed with the greens.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and large pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust lemon juice and seasonings if necessary. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil until emulsified.
  • Stir carrots into dressing, then gently toss with arugula, fennel and dill or mint. Serve immediately, drizzled with more olive oil and topped with pomegranate seeds, and yogurt and nuts or pita chips if using.

Categories     Salad     Tomato     Appetizer     Ramadan     Eggplant     Arugula     Pomegranate     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield 4–6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium eggplants
1/4 cup peanut and olive oil, combined
Sea salt
2 tsp whole fennel seeds
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 large handfuls arugula leaves
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Peel and cut the eggplants into thick rounds of about 1 inch thick, brush both sides with oil, sprinkle with sea salt and place on a shallow baking sheet. Place in the oven to roast until golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove, cool completely and slice each round in half. Set aside.
  • Using a mortar and pestle, crush the fennel seeds and garlic to make a paste. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, pomegranate molasses and olive oil. Whisk together to emulsify the dressing. Set aside.
  • In a shallow serving platter lay the arugula leaves. Sprinkle the onion, tomatoes, salt and pepper on top. Toss to combine. Scatter the eggplant slices on the salad.
  • Drizzle some dressing all over. Garnish with pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately, with crusty olive bread and olives on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe arugula. Look for leaves that are bright green and crisp.
  • To remove any dirt or debris from the arugula, rinse it thoroughly in cold water and pat it dry before using.
  • Pomegranate molasses is a thick, sweet-tart syrup made from pomegranates. It can be found in most Middle Eastern grocery stores or online.
  • If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can substitute balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, roasted nuts, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Arugula salad with pomegranate molasses is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, tart, and bitter flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
