Best 10 Dilled Carrot Salad Recipes

MARINATED CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil, add carrots and simmer until tender, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the soup, sugar, vinegar, oil, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Add carrots, celery, onion and pepper and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours to allow carrots to marinate.

DILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cook carrots in a small amount of water until crisp-tender; drain. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until hot.

DILLED CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together all ingredients except carrots and season with salt and pepper. In a food processor fitted with fine-shredding disk or using large holes of a hand grater grate carrots and stir into vinaigrette.

CREAMY DILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine carrots, water, butter, salt, sugar and pepper. Cover and simmer until carrots are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain liquid into a small saucepan; set the carrots aside and keep warm. Bring liquid to a boil. In a small bowl, combine flour and cream until smooth; slowly add to liquid, stirring constantly. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over the carrots; stir in dill. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

CARROT, DILL & WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and shallots in a small bowl. Stir and set aside.
• In your largest skillet over medium high heat, toss the carrots with a splash of olive oil. Let them cook in a single layer - they'll give off a bit of water at first.
• Keep cooking, tossing gently every three or four minutes until the carrots are deeply browned. All told, about twelve minutes.
• Add the beans and dill to the skillet and cook for another five minutes, or until the beans as well heated through.
• If you are using beans that weren't canned you can allow them to brown a bit as well (just cook a bit longer, and stir less frequently) - they can handle this in a way that most canned beans can't. If you need to add a bit more olive oil to the pan - do so.
• Place the contents of the skillet in a large mixing bowl, sprinkle with the brown sugar and pour the 3/4 of the lemon-olive oil mixture over the top. Toss gently.
• Let sit for ten minutes. Toss gently once again, taste and adjust with more salt or sugar or lemon juice if needed to balance the flavors.
• Serve warm or at room temperature and finish by sprinkling with the almonds just before serving.
• Serves 6 - 8 as a side.

CARROT SALAD WITH CUMIN AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Put carrots in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Leave to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.
• To serve, sprinkle with preserved lemon, if you like, and garnish with mint leaves.

ORZO SALAD WITH ROASTED CARROTS AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack in lower shelf. Cut carrots diagonally into 2-inch pieces. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots and garlic with 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Roast until carrots are tender and browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack to cool. Squeeze garlic cloves from skins; mince to form a coarse paste. Set aside.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Stir in orzo; cook until it is al dente according to package instructions, about 7 minutes. Drain; while still hot, transfer orzo to a large bowl, and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Let cool slightly, and add roasted carrots.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions, and roasted garlic. Add dill, and pour mixture over orzo mixture. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve, or store, covered with plastic wrap, in refrigerator up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before serving.

CHILLED DILLED SUMMER CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Note: If the carrots are large you'll need to quarter then lengthwise.
• Lightly steam or parboil the carrots until just tender but still crisp. (It's better to steam than to parboil to maintain the nutrients.).
• Drain and then immediately rinse with cold water to stop the carrots from cooking. Set aside to drain.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
• Place the drained carrots and onions on a serving platter or in a large salad bowl.
• Pour the dressing over the carrots and onions. Toss.
• Cover and chill at least 3 hours.

WARM PEARL BARLEY & ROASTED CARROT SALAD WITH DILL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the sliced carrots in a large roasting tin with the shallots, garlic and fennel seeds. Drizzle over the oil, toss everything together and season. Roast for 35-40 mins until everything has caramelised and the carrots are tender.
• Meanwhile, boil the pearl barley in a large pan of salted water until al dente, about 30 mins. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together with some seasoning. Remove the carrots from the oven.
• Strain the pearl barley and toss through the dressing, carrots, dill, parsley and half the cheese. Finish with a few of the fennel tops and the remaining cheese. Serve warm or cold with a slice or two of warm buttered soda bread, if you like.

MAC SALAD

Steps:

• If using taro, put on kitchen gloves and wash the taro. Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a pot with a steamer insert, then put the taro in the insert and cover tightly with a lid. Steam until tender, about 3 hours. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Use a paring knife to remove the skin, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Fill a large saucepan with water and add a generous pinch of salt, so the water tastes like the ocean. Scrub the potatoes, then add to the saucepan - there should be just enough water to cover - and bring up to a simmer over medium-high heat. (Don't go for a roiling boil because you want to keep the potatoes intact.) Simmer until a paring knife inserted in the center goes in and out smoothly, 20 to 40 minutes. The potatoes should look barely translucent and have small cracks and a slightly crumbly texture on the surface. Drain carefully and turn out onto a sheet pan. When cool, peel and cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the eggs and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and water. Replenish the boiling water, if needed, and add the macaroni. Cook until softened all the way through, at least 2 minutes past al dente. Drain well and immediately run under cold water to stop the cooking.
• When the noodles are cool, drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Peel the eggs and grate them on the large holes of a box grater. Add them to the bowl, along with the potatoes, taro (if using), carrot, mayonnaise, garlic salt, sugar, black pepper, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. Mix well with a spoon and adjust the seasonings to taste. Eat immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
