Warm Mediterranean Carrot Salad with Yogurt Feta Sauce, Avocado, and Pistachios
🥕WARM MEDITERRANEAN CARROT SALAD by @shredhappens
If you want to eat more veggies and actually enjoy them, this is one of my favorite salads to make in the winter. If you’re watching carbs closely, you can use your favorite squash like butternut or acorns, and if you aren’t watching carbs too closely, this would be great with sweet potatoes.
Serve this up as an appetizer, as a warm salad of sorts, or even as your main.
You can also add some protein like chicken or shrimp, and as always, feel free to modify by adding or substituting your favorite veggies!
Here is how I made it:
1. Peel 7-10 medium carrots. Cut them into thirds, then cut again in half so they cook evenly. Place them into a bowl.
2. Drizzle your carrots with 2-3 tbsp olive oil and season with a couple of generous pinches of salt, pepper, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp oregano, and 1 tsp cumin. Toss really well so it’s evenly coated.
3.Lay out your carrots on a baking tray or dish and make sure they are not overly crowded. Optional: drizzle with a little more olive oil if you arent watching calories too closely.
4.Roast these in the oven at 400F for 40-45 mins. Time may vary by oven, so keep an eye. Flip them at the end so it roasts on the opposite side for 5 mins until you get the right consistency.
5.While carrots are in the oven, make the yogurt feta sauce by mixing 1 cup thick plain yogurt, 2 ounces crumbled feta, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Aleppo pepper or chili flakes of choice, and a couple light pinches of salt. Mix, taste, and adjust as you wish.
6.Spread your yogurt feta sauce at the bottom of a serving dish.. Top with roasted carrots, 1/2 to 1 cubed avocado, a large handful of finely chopped pistachios for a little crunch in each bite, 2 tbsp fresh finely chopped parsley, 1 tbsp fresh finely chopped mint, Aleppo pepper flakes, then squeeze some lime juice.
If you make it, be sure to let know me on SHREDHAPPENS!
ENJOY!
