Some foods deliver you right to the heart of your childhood memories. Brimming with vibrant colours and a toothsome texture, this carrot and radish salad is one that is promptly served at weddings, dinner parties, mindful of the bunny chow crave and especially on Sundays, served alongside your curry and roasts.
Meat free Monday’s hearty and wholesome salad!
This salad talks flavours. Juicy onion, crunchy carrots and peppery radishes gets a burst of flavours from the coriander, green peppers, and a punchy vinaigrette. It can easily be jazzed up with toasted pine nuts.
Radishes are wholly unappreciated. If you are a radish sceptic, do not despair. Try to get a hold of fresh spring radishes, they should be sweet, tender, and just lightly peppery.
They are the star of the show here with a zippy citrus vinaigrette that pairs so perfectly with the sweet young radishes and crunchy carrots.
Carrot salad help balance blood sugar and aid with the elimination of endotoxins from the gut. They are a low-glycemic load and a mighty contender of feeding, nourishing, restoring, and satiating that hunger feeling. It bears repeating that this salad is so simple to prepare, can be made ahead of time, and vastly refreshing and invigorating!
