Purple Carrot Salad with Almond Butter & Cashew Parmesan
Purple carrots are loaded with antioxidants that can help combat diseases and maintain eye health, as well as being rich in potassium, manganese, Vitamin C and B vitamins. This recipe offers a simple way to add color and texture to meals!
Although this salad resembles squid-ink pasta, its flavors come from sweet carrots and nutty nuts. Although simple to prepare, there are two separate cooking components – boiling pearl barley and roasting carrots. If necessary, freekeh or bulgur wheat could also be substituted in place of pearl barley while snow pea sprouts could also be replaced with microgreens or broccoli sprouts for greater variety in texture and taste.
Purple carrots pair beautifully with the earthy umami flavor of kombu and peppery bite of nettle, creating an exquisite soup that is both comforting and visually stimulating.
Carrot Cake
Carrot cake has long been considered an American classic for good reason: its dense moistness is balanced by crisp pecans and spiced with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and vanilla for an intensely delicious cake that gets better each day it sits. Not to mention you can prepare it weeks in advance! Its flavors only become stronger as its shelf life lengthens!
Vegetable oil (or another neutral-tasting oil) is key to this cake’s ultra-moist texture. Oil absorbs some of the liquid from baking ingredients and keeps cakes moist longer, acting as an ideal replacement for butter which tends to dry out faster.
This cake is super simple to put together! Once each layer has been baked, spread some frosting over its top, and carefully stack another. After this process is completed, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 days for best results.
