Carrot Orange Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place carrots in a medium bowl. Section oranges into the bowl to catch juices. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and chill for several hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Pound the garlic with a healthy pinch of salt in a mortar until you have a wet, fairly smooth paste. (You can also do this on a cutting board, chopping and mashing and chopping and mashing until you're satisfied.) Put the paste in a large mixing bowl. Add the cumin, coriander, chilies, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil and stir well, then add the carrots and toss well so they're coated with the oil and spices. Sprinkle on 3 healthy pinches of salt, crushing the grains with your fingers as you add them, and toss again.
• Put the carrots in a large shallow baking dish in one layer. Scrape out the extra garlic, spices, and oil from the bowl and spread evenly on top of the carrots. Pour 1/4 cup water into an empty spot in the casserole (you don't want to wash off the tasty oily stuff) and tilt the dish so the water spreads across the bottom.
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and put it in the oven. Cook the carrots for 25 minutes. Take off the foil and keep cooking until the carrots are lightly browned, and about as tender and creamy as avocado flesh, but not so soft that they threaten to fall apart, about 35 minutes more.
• While the carrots are roasting, segment the orange as you would a lemon. Squeeze the membranes into a small bowl to release the juice. Set it aside.
• When the carrots are done, take the dish out of the oven and let it sit until the carrots have cooled a bit but are still warm.
• Meanwhile, take the avocados from the fridge. Halve them lengthwise, remove the pits, and peel the halves. Cut the flesh lengthwise into slices about the same size as the carrots-the slices should be sturdy enough that they don't break up when you toss them.
• Put the avocado slices in a large mixing bowl and add the reserved orange juice, the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a healthy pinch or two of salt. Toss gently and well with your hands. Push the avocado to one side of the bowl. Add the carrots a handful at a time, scraping and tossing them in the beautiful green liquid in the bowl before adding the next handful. Make sure to scrape out and add all the garlicky spices left in the baking dish. Toss it all together gently, being careful not to break the avocado slices.
• Stack the carrots, avocado, and orange segments on a platter or in a serving bowl so they're facing this way and that. Top with the cilantro and serve right away.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Quarter the carrots lengthwise and cut each length crosswise into 2-inch chunks. With a mortar and pestle or using the side of a knife, lightly crush the cumin, coriander and fennel. Spread carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil, crushed spices, 3/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne. Transfer to oven and roast, tossing occasionally, until carrots are tender and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, grate zest of 1 orange into a small bowl. Whisk in garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil.
• Slice the tops and bottoms from each orange. Stand each orange on a flat surface and slice away the rind and pith, top to bottom, following curve of the fruit. Hold oranges over a large bowl and slice away fruit between the membranes, releasing segments into the bowl.
• Toss carrots, arugula and olives into the bowl. Gently toss in dressing. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if necessary.

Steps:

• Slice carrots and radishes as thinly as possible and add to a large bowl. Add mint and cilantro. Remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments; add them to the carrots. Squeeze the membrane to extract the rest of the juice and add the cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice, orange flower water, and salt, to taste. Mix to dissolve sugar and salt. Pour over the carrot mixture and gently toss to coat. The salad can be served immediately but allowing it to sit for 1 or 2 hours will help the flavors to blend. Just before serving, taste and adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• Place carrots in a bowl and set aside.
• Remove peel and all of the white pith from the oranges. Section the oranges, reserving all of the juices for the salad. Add segments to the carrots.
• Combine orange juice, lemon juice honey and cinnamon in a small bowl and pour over the orange/carrot mixture. Toss gently to combine.
• Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the segments from 2 of the oranges and put in a bowl with the carrots, rocket and avocados. Whisk together the orange juice, zest and oil. Toss through the salad, and season.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the carrots and dates.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, salt, cinnamon and olive oil. Toss with the carrots.
• Remove the peel and pith from one of the oranges. Cut the sections away from between the membranes, holding the orange above the bowl to catch juice. Cut the orange sections into halves or thirds, depending on the size, and toss with the carrots. Transfer to a platter or a wide bowl.
• Slice the remaining orange or oranges into thin rounds. Cut the rounds in half, and arrange in an overlapping ring around the carrots. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon over the carrots and oranges, and serve.
