ROASTED CARROT SALAD
Inspired by an incredibly popular salad sold in a local award winning market here in Woodstock, VT. Since they don't give out the recipe, I had to figure it out on my own. But I (and others) believe that my version is infinitely better, and I'm sure you will agree. This light, fresh and healthy salad is perfect for summer days and presents well for BBQ's, potlucks, and dinner parties alike and it is guaranteed to impress and get rave reviews every time.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Trim the carrots, but leave a bit of the tops on. If you can't find baby carrots, halve or quarter larger ones lengthways. Don't peel them, just wash well. Put in a single layer in a roasting tin, add the olive oil, salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 25-30 mins until tender. Be careful not to overcook.
- Make the dressing by putting the vinegar in a bowl and whisking in all the other ingredients with a fork. Season. Put the lentils in a broad shallow serving bowl with half the chilli and a third of the preserved lemon. Season, then toss with about a third of the dressing. Halve and core the apple (there's no need to peel) and cut into matchsticks. Throw into a large mixing bowl with the lemon juice and add the carrots. Add the rest of the preserved lemons and chilli, along with two-thirds of the herbs and the remaining dressing. Scatter the rest of the herbs over the lentils, and put the carrot and apple mixture on top.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. If your carrots are older, peel them before roasting.
- Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them caramelize and brown.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature, 400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Keep an eye on the carrots while they are roasting. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Let the carrots cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
- For the dressing, use a good quality buttermilk. This will give the dressing a rich, creamy flavor.
- Add fresh herbs to the dressing for extra flavor. Chives, dill, and parsley are all good choices.
- Serve the salad immediately. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This roasted carrots and red leaf lettuce salad with buttermilk herb dressing is a delicious and healthy side dish. It is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The roasted carrots are sweet and caramelized, the red leaf lettuce is crisp and refreshing, and the buttermilk herb dressing is creamy and flavorful.
