    So inventive and different and tasty. Don't be afraid to make substitutions or trust your instincts. I like arugala and raddichio and I skip the cress for a few leaves of romaine or green leaf lettuce (to save a dollar. I halve the recipe and just use one avocado: I think 1 1/2 would be too much.

    This was hands down the best salad I have ever had. It is easy to prepare and so much fun to eat. I really enjoyed the big chunks of carrot and avocado. I added roasted zucchini, which was fantastic! Thank you, Jamie, for this recipe. The dressing is delicious and simple to make. The entire salad was groovy and I wouldn't mind eating it on a daily basis.

    Yuk! Leave out the lemon, or roast in a separate dish. I just wasted an hour of time preparing this and lots of expensive ingredients only to have to chuck the whole lot in the bin as it was so bitter from the lemon diffusing into the veg and dressing oil. Most displeased as the rest of it looked delicious.

    I have used the recipe exactly, and occasionally added arugula to the greens. It tastes fantastic and could even be an entree as the carrots and avocado have a lot of body. I have taken this to pot lucks and people are always want the recipe. The recipe is visually appealing as I always build upward and it creates a pretty dish. I love watching Jamie because his approaches are always about fresh and often about using fresh herbs so I grow my favorites in pots and feel I can dress up anything to be a gourmet meal.

    This roast carrot and avocado salad is fantastic! It is almost a meal in itself. Using the rainbow carrots makes it beautiful as well as delicous. I added a little smoked paprika to the dressing and it added really good. I took it to a party and everyone asked for the recipe.

    This is a great salad. The carrots are amazing and the blend of textures are fantastic. High nutrition marks as well!

    What an amazing dish! This has it all, flavor, texture, plating. Can't wait to get back to the Farmers' Market for avocados, carrots and micro greens. Will make this dish over & over again.

    I'm glad to see that ppl are actually making this recipe (& reviewing it rather than using this space to rant about the copyright policies of Jamie's producers.

    I have made this twice so far, the 1st time following the recipe faithfully. The consensus was that the avocado's delicate flavor was overwhelmed by the sweetness of the carrots. The 2nd time I made this, I turned it into a side dish by subbing yellow potatoes for the avocado (I parboiled them with the carrot, then roasted them with the other ingredients. It was wonderful, and variations of this theme will be a part of my arsenal from here on out. Thanks Jamie! You rock! :
