CARROT AND ORANGE SALAD

carrot salad v3

Method

  • Cut the top and bottom off one of the oranges, so that you can stand it on a chopping board
  • Using a small, sharp knife, work your way around the orange, cutting off the peel and pith in strips so the juicy flesh is exposed
  • Then, holding the peeled orange in the palm of your hand and working over a bowl to catch the juice, slice down as close as you can to the sides of each membrane, and release the fruit segments
  • Drop these into the bowl as you go
  • Repeat with the other orange
  • Peel the carrots and, using a sharp knife or a mandolin, cut into matchsticks
  • Add these and the seeds to the orange segments, and toss to mix
  • To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients, along with any juice you've collected from peeling the oranges
  • Add the chervil or parsley to the salad along with the dressing, toss and serve at once
