Carrot And Red Onion Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the carrots, cabbage and onions into a bowl. Make the dressing by stirring the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over salad, tossing the vegetables in the dressing. Add the herbs, toss again, then scatter over the peanuts.

Steps:

• Place the carrots in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until carrots are tender. Do not over cook, the carrots should be firm but easy to bite into. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
• In the container of a food processor or blender, combine the tomato soup, sugar, oil, vinegar, cayenne pepper, salt and mustard powder. Blend for about 3 minutes or until creamy.
• In a large bowl, mix together the carrots, green, red and yellow bell peppers and onion. Toss with the dressing, cover and refrigerate overnight. The longer this salad is allowed to sit, the better it is.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine vegetables. In a small bowl stir together vinegar, oil, salt, sugar, and pepper to taste until salt and sugar are dissolved. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine well. Chill salad, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.

Steps:

• For Dressing: In a glass jar with a tight fitting lid combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Screw on lid and shake vigorously until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Add the remaining dressing ingredients and shake vigorously until emulsified. Dressing will last up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
• In a medium serving bowl, combine the carrots, onion, and dressing; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cucumber, red onion and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside to sweat slightly.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrot and cook until tender-crisp, 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
• Add the cubed potato and egg to the boiling water. Cook the egg for 10 minutes and the potatoes until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While the potato finishes cooking, run the hard-boiled egg under cold tap water. Peel the egg, finely chop it, then add it to a medium bowl. When the potato is cooked, transfer to the bowl with the egg and mash with a fork until uniform.
• Add the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar to the mashed potato mixture and stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Squeeze the salted cucumber and red onion with your hands (discarding any liquid), and fold them into the potato and egg mixture along with the cooked carrot.
• To serve, scoop the potato salad onto a plate using an ice cream scoop, and eat warm or at room temperature. (To store for later, transfer to a resealable container and keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. This salad even tastes great cold, straight out of the fridge.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. If using the garlic, put whole, unpeeled head in a small saucepan with water to cover. Bring water to boil, then simmer to soften cloves and loosen skins, about 10 minutes. Drain and refresh garlic head under cold water. Separate cloves and peel.
• Put vegetables (excluding garlic) into a roasting pan large enough to hold them without crowding. Toss vegetables with butter and/or oil, balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt. Roast, stirring or shaking vegetables every 15 minutes for 30 minutes. Add garlic (if using) Raise heat to 425 degrees and continue roasting until tender and evenly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper; taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a bowl toss together the carrots, the onion, the oil, the zest, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste until the salad is combined well.
