Carrot.Pear.Curry.Salad.


I absolutely love Giada De Laurentis. And I love watching her prepare delicious recipes on The Food Network. This happens to be one that caught my eye. And to be honest, I'm not a fan of curry, however, this sounds so good and refreshing that I am most certainly going to give it a try. Enjoy!

Ingredients -
1-1/2 pound large carrots, trimmed and peeled (about 8 carrots)
2 firm pears (recommended: D'Anjou)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions -
1. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the carrots lengthwise into thin ribbons or slices. Quarter, core, and stem the pears. Using a knife, slice into very thin strips. Place the carrot and pear slices in a large bowl with the chopped parsley.

2. In a blender, combine the white wine, curry powder, honey, salt, and pepper and blend to combine. With the machine running, add the olive oil.

3. Pour the dressing over the carrots and pears. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
