ROASTED CARROT SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND POMEGRANATE



Roasted Carrot Salad With Arugula and Pomegranate image

This composed, bright salad of roasted carrots, thinly sliced fennel and arugula gains a fruity depth from a splash of pomegranate molasses in the dressing. You can find pomegranate molasses in Middle Eastern groceries and specialty food shops, and it's worth seeking out for its complex, sweet-tart acidity. Once opened, it will last for years in your pantry. This salad makes a delightful side dish or light main course, especially if you include the optional toasted walnuts or pita chips, which add a satisfying crunch. If you can find multicolored carrots, this already striking salad becomes even prettier.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths (halve them if carrots are large)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, more to taste
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, more to taste
1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 ounces baby arugula (about 3 cups)
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh dill fronds or mint leaves
Pomegranate seeds, as needed
Yogurt, for serving (optional)
Toasted walnuts or crumbled pita chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss carrots with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until edges are caramelized and carrots are tender, 28 to 33 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with cumin. Let cool for a few minutes while you make the dressing. Carrots should be slightly warm but not hot when tossed with the greens.

This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.
