CLASSIC CARROT SALAD



Classic Carrot Salad image

Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Select fresh and crisp vegetables: Use firm, brightly colored carrots and chicory for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline: Thinly slicing the vegetables will help them marinate better and absorb the dressing's flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the carrots, make sure to cook them in a single layer so they brown evenly.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings this salad together, so make sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy. A simple vinaigrette or a tangy citrus dressing are both great options.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad even more refreshing.
