Peanut Orange And Carrot Salad Food

FRENCH CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• To prepare the carrots: You can grate them on the large holes of a box grater, or use short strokes with a julienne peeler, or process them in a food processor fitted with a grating attachment. You'll end up with about 3 cups grated carrots.
• Place the carrots in a medium serving bowl. Add the chives, parsley and optional chickpeas to the bowl.
• To make the dressing, whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until completely blended.
• Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and stir until the mixture is evenly coated in dressing. For best flavor, allow the salad to marinate for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again before serving. This salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days.

ORANGE CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Place carrots in a medium bowl. Section oranges into the bowl to catch juices. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and chill for several hours.

PEANUT, ORANGE, AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium microwave-able bowl, microwave the peanut butter for about 10 seconds to soften. Whisk in the tamari, orange juice and ginger; stir in a splash of hot water if the sauce begins to tighten up.
• Stir the carrots into the dressing and toss.
• Scatter the scallions and peanuts on the salad; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Best if allowed to chill in the refrigerator for a bit.

THE RAINBOW ROOM'S CARROT AND PEANUT SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the carrots very coarsely, push them through the french-fry cutter blade in the food processor, or just cut them into skinny batons or sticks. In a bowl, combine them with the peanuts and then add the remaining ingredients. I like to eat this, straight out of the Pyrex bowl I mix it in, held up high, under my chin, for ease of eating-action. In fact, the only way I stop eating it is by having someone prise the bowl out of my hands.

BAREFOOT CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and then drain.
• Fit a food processor with the grating blade. Cut the carrots in half and place in the feed tube so they are lying on their sides. Process in batches. Place the grated carrots in a medium bowl, add the lemon juice and toss.
• For the dressing, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar and salt. Pour the dressing over the carrots and add the pineapple and raisins. Toss together and serve.

CARROT, ORANGE & AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the segments from 2 of the oranges and put in a bowl with the carrots, rocket and avocados. Whisk together the orange juice, zest and oil. Toss through the salad, and season.

ORANGE AND PEANUT SALAD

Steps:

• Peel, section and remove membranes from oranges.
• In a large bowl, combine lettuce, orange sections, red onion and peanuts.
• In a blender combine remaining ingredients and blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
• Pour dressing over salad and toss.

HALLOUMI, CARROT & ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the peel and pith away from the oranges. Use a small serrated knife to segment the orange, catching any juices in a bowl, then squeeze any excess juice from the off-cut pith into the bowl as well. Add the mustard, honey, vinegar, oil and some seasoning to the bowl and mix well.
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot ribbons into the dressing bowl and toss gently. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and cook the halloumi for a few mins until golden on both sides. Toss the watercress through the dressed carrots. Arrange the watercress mixture on plates and top with the halloumi and oranges.

SALAD WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and peanut butter. Stir in carrots and raisins. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

PEPPERY FENNEL & CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the carrots and fennel into a salad bowl. Toast the nuts in a hot frying pan for 3-5 mins until golden, then tip onto a plate. In the same pan, heat the oil and fry the mustard and nigella or black onion seeds, if using, until they begin to pop - about 30 secs. Pour in the lemon or lime juice and mix together to make a dressing. Toss together with the vegetables in the bowl, then sprinkle with nuts to serve.
