Carrot Ginger Salad

"A quick and very refreshing salad, perfect for any hot summer day. This salad pairs well with curries or any spicy stew. It travels well too, so would be a good addition to the picnic basket or a party table. For another layer of flavor add 1/2 teaspoon rose water, if available."

  • Place dried cranberries and orange juice in a glass measuring cup and microwave on high for 1 minute. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow cranberries to plump.
  • Toast nuts in a medium skillet over medium-low heat until just beginning to turn golden brown and fragrant. Immediately remove from heat; when cool, chop coarsely and set aside.
  • Place all ingredients in a medium non-reactive bowl and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning. Cover and chill 1 to 2 hours or up to overnight before serving, stirring once or twice.

  1. OUTSTANDING SALAD, what with the combo of the berries, OJ, TOASTED almonds & carrots (Oh, yes, & the ginger played a nice part here, too!) ~ Definitely a keeper of a recipe, thanks to your posting it! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Semi-professional--have worked in restaurants for 25+ years and working in the kitchen is my best therapy. I love to try new and different ingredients and techniques and parse out most of my experiments to friends & family and any other willing guinea pigs. My favorite cookbook, right now, is "The Art of Simple Food", by Alice Waters--amazing recipes, information and advice for any level of cook. Here in the desert, you've gotta try Wangs, Roscoe Grill, Copley's, Tyler's...to name a few. My all-time favorite restaurant is Huggo's on The Big Island of Hawaii--the food is pretty good, but the ambience & location are what put it over the top.
