Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut across into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 1/2 pounds Swiss chard, washed and stemmed
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 2 large pots of water to boil. Add the carrots and cook just until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, add the Swiss chard to the second pot of water and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of cold water. Drain, press out all of the water, chop coarsely and set aside.
  • Whisk together remaining ingredients except salt and pepper. Add the carrots and Swiss chard and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise the salad was good.

I was pleasantly surprised by this salad. I'm not usually a fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed the way they were prepared in this recipe. The dressing was also very tasty.

This recipe is a keeper! The salad was so easy to make and it turned out delicious. I used a combination of orange and yellow carrots, which gave it a beautiful color.

This carrot salad was incredibly flavorful and refreshing! I loved the combination of sweet carrots, crunchy almonds, and tangy dressing. It was the perfect side dish for my grilled chicken.
