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

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.

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

    I loved this dressing and the entire salad. I added a little chicken to add some protein.

    I made this nice summer salad and it was delicious. I did not have pears so I added apples instead. I love the fact that it is not a typical green salad! It is also very versatile. Loved the curry dressing.
    Thank you and keep up your great work!
