Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium carrots
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
2 tablespoons finely chopped dates

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the carrots into ribbons using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, including any remaining "stubs" of carrot. Soak in ice water until the ribbons firm up and curl, about 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Whisk together the cilantro, olive oil, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the lime juice in a medium bowl. Add the carrots along with the feta cheese, almonds and dates, and toss until evenly combined. Serve immediately, or let the salad marinate a bit before serving.

This salad was a disappointment. The flavors just didn't work together for me.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing.

I added some chopped walnuts to this salad for extra crunch. It was a great addition.

I made this salad with dried cranberries instead of dates and it was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of fiber and protein.

I'm not a big fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dates and feta help to balance out the sweetness of the carrots.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I always have a bunch of carrots in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This salad is a great option because it's healthy, delicious, and easy to make.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the flavors are amazing. I love the crunch of the carrots, the sweetness of the dates, and the saltiness of the feta.

This salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of carrots, dates, and feta is unexpected, but it works so well together. The dressing is also perfectly balanced, with a nice tang from the lemon juice and a hint of sweetness from the honey.
