Steps:
- Shave carrots with vegetable peeler into ribbons (personally I'll use pre-grated carrots) an put in a bowl.
- Puree 1/2 cup roasted cashews in blender with 1 tablespoon each vegetable oil ad chopped jalapeno, 3tablespoon lime juice and 14 cup water until almost smooth.
- Toss with carrots; add 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and season with salt.
- Top with chopped cashews.
Tips:
- Select the best carrots: Choose young, tender carrots with a deep orange color and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp, wilted, or have bruises.
- Use fresh or toasted cashews: Fresh cashews add a soft, buttery flavor, while toasted cashews add a nutty, crunchy texture. If using fresh cashews, toast them in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for meal prep or busy weeknights.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your salad, such as shredded cabbage, bell peppers, or snap peas. This will add extra color, texture, and nutrients.
- Serve immediately or chill: Carrot cashew salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If chilling, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
