Mr B and I both loved the combination of flavors in this salad: the sweet
richness of the roasted carrots and beets, the peppery earthiness of the green lentils, the clean freshness of the snap peas and watercress — all brought together by the tart creaminess of a lemony yogurt dressing.
Combine the
rest of the roasted carrots (cut in half), sweet potatoes, cashewmilk, garlic, ginger, and lime juice in a high speed blender.
Since produce is currently a little slim at the greenmarket, this grain salad is
full of roasted carrots, herbs, crispy chickpeas, crunchy cucumbers, and finished with a dijon sherry vinaigrette.
I've been wanting to make a roasted carrot dip for a while now because I love the
idea of roasted carrots blended with a bunch of spices to make me feel like the bag of chips I'm eating is healthy.
For instance, while I was sojourning in New Orleans, the local supermarket carried a variety of spices, which gave an otherwise drab
dish of roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts some flair.
I love the idea
of roasted carrots and tahini together!
