Carrot Ribbon Salad With Ginger, Parsley, and Dates image

This salad evolved from my father's favorite road-trip snack-carrot sticks with roasted almonds, lemon juice, and salt. I've punched it up with fresh ginger, lots of parsley, and dates.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound medium carrots (about 6), preferably rainbow
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
¾ teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup roasted salted almonds, coarsely chopped
6 large Medjool dates, pitted and thinly sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into long, thin slices, watching out for your fingers. Soak, along with any remaining carrot nubs, in a bowl of ice water until the slices curl, about 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • In a large salad bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, ginger, honey, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Add the carrots, parsley, half the almonds, and half the dates and toss to combine. Adjust the salt to taste.
  • Top the salad with the remaining almonds and dates and serve.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The carrots were a little too crunchy for my taste. I would grate them more finely next time.

The dressing was a little too oily for my taste. I would use less olive oil next time.

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

I didn't have any dates, so I used raisins instead. They worked just as well.

I'm allergic to parsley, so I used cilantro instead. It was still delicious!

I love how versatile this salad is. You can add different ingredients to customize it to your own taste. I like to add some chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.

The ginger-parsley dressing is the star of this salad. It's perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness, acidity, and spice. I love how it coats the carrots and brings out their natural sweetness.
