Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large lemon, washed, sliced into thin rounds, and then quartered
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for lemons
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 pinches cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon orange zest, plus 1/4 cup orange juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Place the lemon pieces in a cold skillet. Add a generous amount of oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat over low heat until the rinds soften and begin to brown and caramelize, about 20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, add the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper. While whisking, pour 1/4 cup olive oil in a thin stream until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Add the carrots, parsley, and pine nuts. Remove the caramelized lemon to the bowl using a slotted spoon. Toss and taste for seasoning. Drizzle in some of the lemon infused oil, to taste.
  • Store in the refrigerator until serving time.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon juice next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I had a few carrots that were starting to go limp, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The salad is delicious and it helped me use up some veggies that would have otherwise gone to

This salad is a delightful burst of flavors and textures. The carrots are perfectly tender-crisp, the parsley adds a refreshing herbaceousness, and the roasted lemon dressing is simply divine. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautiful
