The Art of Food

It’s Friday!  You know what that means!  Jamie’s Food Revolution and, consequently, a Jamie food post!

This is Evolution Carrot Salad (Jamie’s Food Rev, pg. 116)

Ingredients: 

• 4-5 large carrots
• fresh cilantro
• s&p
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• mixed and chopped nuts
• clementines

To make:

1. Modified: It says to grate carrots but I used a potato peeler and shaved them in nice long strips.  It looks a lot more elegant this way and it’s easier to eat.
2. Finely chop in cilantro
3. Drizzle over with olive oil and lemon juice
4. Season with s&p
5. Mix in chopped nuts
6. Toss in small wedges of clementines
7. Toss everything together nicely and serve

This salad is really fresh and light.  It’s so easy to make, about 10 minutes altogether.  My family couldn’t get enough of it!  Enjoy!
