Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons minced shallot (from 1 shallot)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces butternut squash (from 1 small squash), peeled
3 small carrots, peeled
2 ounces dates, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds
4 ounces baby arugula (6 cups)

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, mustard, shallot, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly.
  • Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, shave squash and carrots into a large bowl. Add dates, sunflower seeds, arugula, and vinaigrette. Toss thoroughly to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored.
  • If you don't have sunflower seeds, you can substitute another type of seed, such as pumpkin seeds or chia seeds.
  • To make the salad more substantial, add some cooked protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu.
  • For a more tangy dressing, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Carrot and sunflower seed salad is a healthy, refreshing, and flavorful dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and nutritious salad that will please everyone at the table.
