Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
2 large garlic cloves, minced or pureed in a mortar and pestle with 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Imported black olives
2 hard boiled eggs, cut in wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the carrots in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water, cover and steam 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water, and drain on paper towels.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until the garlic smells fragrant, and stir in the carrots, pepper, and salt to taste. Stir together for a few minutes, until the carrots are nicely seasoned. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and the parsley. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice as desired. Transfer to a platter, and decorate with olives and hard-boiled eggs if desired. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of carrots for a more colorful and flavorful salad: purple, white, orange, and yellow carrots can all be used.
  • Shred the carrots thinly for a more delicate texture.
  • Roast the carrots for a sweeter and more caramelized flavor.
  • Make sure the carrots are completely cooled before adding them to the salad, otherwise they will wilt the other ingredients.
  • Use a flavorful dressing, such as the Moroccan dressing in this recipe, to enhance the flavor of the carrots.
  • Add other vegetables or fruits to the salad for a more varied texture and flavor, such as celery, apples, or raisins.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Carrot salad is a healthy and refreshing dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a light lunch. It is a great way to use up leftover carrots, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With a variety of different dressing options and add-ins, carrot salad can be customized to suit any taste. So next time you have a bunch of carrots on hand, don't be afraid to experiment and create your own unique carrot salad recipe.
