Lettuce And Carrot Salad With Sweet And Sour Dressing Food

INCREDIBLE, SIMPLE FRENCH CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the carrot use a standard box grater (or the shredder attachment of food processor). Aim for strands about 4cm/1.5" long.
• Place in a bowl with green onion and parsley.
• Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar. Pour over carrot, toss then serve.

SWEET-SOUR LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine the sugar, vinegar and water; shake until sugar is dissolved. Add cream; shake well. Just before serving, toss greens, bacon and dressing in a large bowl.

LETTUCE WITH CREAM DRESSING

Steps:

• Place lettuce in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir together sugar, vinegar and cream or sour cream until sugar dissolves and dressing is smooth. Stir in green onion. Just before serving, pour over lettuce; toss lightly.

SWEET-AND-SOUR CARROTS

Steps:

• Halve 1 pound carrots lengthwise and cut into 3-inch pieces; steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 smashed garlic clove and a pinch of salt until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season the carrots with salt and drizzle with the sweet-and-sour sauce. Top with chopped parsley.

CRISPY NOODLE SALAD WITH SWEET AND SOUR DRESSING

Steps:

Stream in oil and continue whisking to combine. Dress salad and toss with salt and pepper, to your taste. Serve salad with remaining crispy noodles, as garnish.

ROASTED CARROTS AND RED LEAF LETTUCE SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK HERB DRESSING

Steps:

• For the carrots: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the green leaves from the carrot tops, then rinse, drain and set them aside to use for the dressing. Use a vegetable brush to clean the carrots (leave the peel on to give the carrots texture). Cut them on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
• In a small bowl, toss the carrots with the olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized (I like mine to be on the borderline of starting to burn), about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they burn easily! Let cool completely.
• For the dressing: While the carrots cool, make the dressing. Whisk the buttermilk, yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper in a bowl until emulsified. Stir in the chives, tarragon, dill, carrot leaves and oregano.
• For the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss the lettuce, pistachios, cherries, cheese and carrots with the dressing. Serve immediately.
