 Carrots for Carrot and Orange Salad

Note: Quick Carrot and Orange Salad can be made with lemon rind and juice instead of orange.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb young carrots
  • grated rind and juice of 1 orange
  • 1 tsp of light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp light sesame oil
  • salt and freshly-ground black pepper
  • pinch of ground coriander seed
  • chopped fresh parsley

Method

Wash, peel and shred the carrots with a box grater or food processor. Place in a ceramic or glass bowl. Stir in the grated orange rind and about 2 tablespoons of the juice. Let sit for 15 minutes or so.

Add the sugar and oils, mixing well. Season to taste with salt, pepper and coriander. Add in chopped fresh parsley to taste. Cover and chill until serving time.

Use additional orange juice as needed to adjust the ‘juiciness’ of the salad. Garnish with  sprigs of parsley to serve.

Serve the Quick Carrot and Orange Salad with Chorizo Empanadas. For another salad try Russian Mushroom Salad.
