carrot salad "à l'orange"
Of course, homemade grated carrots are divine!
But “life happens”…
And if you feel a little lazy at times,
It’s OK to go to the store and buy them already grated!
Either way,
Prepare the dressing with
The juice of half a freshly squeezed orange,
The juice of half a freshly squeezed lemon, and
Fragrant olive oil,
In double the quantity of the citrus fruit.
Add a pinch of Guérande sea salt,
A few sprigs of fresh thyme…
Emulsify, taste, and adjust to balance.
- Spend 5 minutes more on this:
Incorporate orange sections peeled to the flesh,
and slivered almonds sautéed in a dry pan.
