CURRY-LACED GRATED CARROT SALAD



Curry-Laced Grated Carrot Salad image

The classic French salad is made with a more neutral tasting salad oil than olive oil. I'm giving you the choice here, as extra virgin olive oil has health benefits that canola oil does not have, but choose a mild tasting olive oil rather than a strong green one.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup grated or finely chopped red onion (optional)
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
Use 2 tablespoons lemon juice and omit the vinegar
Add 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon ground lightly toasted cumin seeds
Substitute 2 to 3 tablespoons buttermilk for 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil

Steps:

  • Place the onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 15 minutes, drain, rinse with cold water, and drain on paper towels. Add to the carrots along with the capers and parsley. Make the dressing as directed, adding to it the curry powder and ground cumin. Toss with the salad.
