Carrot And Cracker Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix carrots and raisins together in a large bowl. Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour lemon juice mixture over carrot mixture and stir until carrots are completely coated. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel the carrots and grate them in a food processor fitted with the large grating attachment. If you lay the carrots on their sides in the feed tube, you will have nice long grated strands. Place the grated carrots in a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, pineapple, raisins, salt, and pepper. Toss well and season to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add pineapple, raisins, mayonnaise, honey and orange zest (if using). Mix until combined.
• Add carrots to dressing and fold together all the ingredients using a rubber spatula or tongs.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then serve chilled.

Steps:

• Mix the first five ingredients together.
• Add enough mayonnaise to achieve the consistency you desire.
• Add seasoning to taste.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Wash, scrape and slice carrots into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
• Bring water to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Add carrots and garlic, cover, and cook about 15 minutes, or until tender (but still firm).
• Drain carrots and place in serving bowl.
• Mix remaining ingredients and pour over the carrots. Toss, then cover with plastic wrap and set aside for about 30 minutes before serving at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt, and cook for 6 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and caraway seeds and cook for 1 min more, then add the carrot and veg stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 12 mins.
• Once the carrots are completely soft, drain them (reserve the liquid) and blitz to a smooth purée - add a tbsp of the reserved stock initially, but use more if necessary to get the desired consistency. Season and leave to cool. The purée can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge.
• To serve, spoon the purée - or, if you want to be extra fancy, transfer it to a piping bag and pipe it - onto the oatcakes and top each with a little dill and a veg crisp.

Steps:

• Boil the carrots whole in lightly salted water for 8-10 minutes until just tender (or steam, if you prefer).
• While the carrots are boiling, use a pestle and mortar to mash the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then add the cumin seeds and pound a little more to combine. Stir in the honey and lemon juice.
• Drain the carrots, leave until cool enough to handle, then slice on the diagonal and tip into a salad bowl. Toss the dressing thoroughly with the warm carrots, scatter over the raisins and pine nuts, then drizzle with the olive oil. If you have time, allow the carrots to stand at room temperature for an hour or so, for all the flavours to come together. Just before serving, toss through the coriander.
