Carrot Citrus Salad with Raisins
SERVES: 6 TO 8 TIME: 30 MINUTES
Ingredients
Zest of 1 large orange
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound carrots, box grated
1 cup golden raisins, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions
Toast the pecans in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat for several minutes, until the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Cool completely before using.
Whisk the orange zest, juice and honey in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle in the oil while whisking to form an emulsified vinaigrette.
Add the carrots, raisins and pecans, and toss to incorporate. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Let the salad sit for 15 minutes, then stir before serving.
