Shredded carrots salad in a orange juice mayonnaise dressing.
Can this salad be made the day before, or should it be assembled the day I am serving it?
Just a note, the honey was left off the recipe in the book.
Looks amazing
We tried this recipe and it was delicious! The balance of flavors are perfect! It's a keeper, although I will still make my mom's version as well!
I have the ingredients to make this tomorow!!! I'm lo carb so I will skip the honey in the dressing…. orange juice will make it sweet enough, IMO>
Here are the exact ingredients/measurements:
* ¾ cup hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
*
* ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
*
* 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
*
* 1 tablespoon honey
*
* Salt and pepper
*
* ¼ teaspoon grated orange zest plus 1/3 cup juice
*
* 1 fennel bulb, stalks discarded, bulb halved, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
*
* 1 pound carrots, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
*
* ½ cup minced fresh chives
I just followed the video for the instructions, but it’s basically:
1) Make the dressing
2) Toast the hazelnuts and blitz in food processor until it’s powdery with some bigger chunks of nut.
4) Cut the fennel/carrot into one inch pieces. Blitz the fennel 10-15 times ish until they are fine pieces. Process the carrots for 20-30 seconds until it resembles tabbouleh.
5) Combine carrots, fennel, half of the hazelnuts and mix with dressing. Top with more nuts and the chives and enjoy!
made it yesterday; delicious. I subbed half the olive oil with Blood Orange OO. Yummy. Thanks, ATK ✌🏼
This is one of those recipes where I have to shake my head and ask WHY ?
Why do you feature a recipe that includes an ingredient that most people who are just average home cooks don't have on hand or can't get easily? Yes those blanched Hazlenuts?
There are three major grocery chains close to my home and none of them stock Hazelnuts of Filberts. That makes my source for these Amazon and the quality I'd have to buy and the cost I'd have to pay doesn't justify the small amount used for this recipe. Sometimes professional chefs who have access to anything they need, forget not every ingredient is available to the average home cook. That seems to be the case this time.
Made this tonight, a beautiful recipe in both its simplicity and well-balanced yet ample flavour! Thanks guys!
Hat's off to Becky! That's a beautiful rework of the old shredded carrot salad. I think the combination of carrot and fennel is going to be mind blowing! Can't wait to try this one 😋
I'm invited to a potluck cookout at the end of June, and had actually considered taking an old fashioned carrot and raisin salad. This looks better; just different enough to be unexpected, without being so weird that it's offputting. I think we have a winner!
Try this , Seriously !
perfectness
I love the carrot raisin, etc salad. I question how many people have fennel and hazelnuts in their house on a regular basis. That is the true beauty of salads – using vegetables you normally have available. I have had to search for fennel in grocery stores, and, although we enjoy it, it is expensive, and only available at one store nearby. Walnuts, almonds, and pecans all come in large bags and I always have them on hand. Hazelnuts come in small , expensive containers. So, I might make this with celery, walnuts, and a touch of fennel seed.
Wowwwwww !!! they look delicious…ahihi
It's a healthy and nutritious salad! Good for refresh and diet!
Invite me too to your party please :))))
Why do we need two people to introduce a recipe. Julia adds nothing. Her sounds are so annoying.
This looks good and different! But… I LOVE the mayonnaise carrot salad. I'm thinking we can walk in both worlds and don't need to choose a side.
This is a very different carrot salad, indeed; at least, from any I've heard of. I've never eaten fennel and this looks like an interesting way to try it.
Hate fennel….. sorry. Can’t. Lol. But love you guys!
I’ve never had a carrot salad before! Definitely gonna give this a try 🙂
That mayonnaisey carrot salad with raisins and pineapple is my favorite salad, and i look for it when i go to Buffett restaurants. I will definitely try this salad also. It looks like a winner.😀👍
What would you pair with this? Anything in particular?
Great recipe ladies.
I hate carrot salad….but I'll give this one a try.
So wonderful for a refreshing taste in the summer heat! Thank you 🙏🏻
You can set those carrot tops in a jar on your counter and it will be at least as amusing as the comedian
