Roasted Carrot Salad

This savory salad brings fall flavors. Roasted carrots get an herbaceous boost

from a lemon dill and parsley yogurt sauce. It’s a complete meal with protein rich

garbanzo beans, feta, and toasted almonds. Can easily be made vegan.

Roasted Carrots

Preheat oven to 375. If using organic carrots no need to peel them. Mix carrots in a bowl with olive oil, and salt. Lay the carrots out on a sheet pan, and roast for 35 minutes, or until tender.

Assembly

In a shallow bowl add mixed lettuces, salt, and a sprinkle of lemon juice. Add seasoned garbanzo beans. Add radishes. Lay the roasted carrots on top of the greens. Sprinkle with salted almonds, and feta. Drizzle the yogurt sauce across the carrots, then on the greens. Finish with fennel seeds sprinkled on top of the carrots.
