Hey there, foodie friends! Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that perfectly captures the essence of summer: my Honey Roasted Carrot Salad. This vibrant and flavorful salad is a delightful mix of sweet, savory, and crunchy, making it a refreshing and satisfying option for any occasion.

Preparation

To start, gather your ingredients: 250g of rainbow baby carrots, 50g of crumbled feta cheese, 30g of toasted pine nuts, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a handful of fresh arugula.

Next, preheat your oven to 200°C. Wash and peel the baby carrots, then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until they are well coated. Place the carrots on a baking sheet and roast them for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.

Once the carrots are done, let them cool slightly before assembling the salad. In a large bowl, mix the roasted carrots with arugula, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra olive oil, then toss gently to combine.
