I came across the combination of cumin roasted carrots and feta in another, rather more complicated recipe on the BBC Good Food website. However, I like the simplicity of this - just a handful of ingredients that work really well together.
The sweet and soft carrots really compliment the tangy feta, and the toasted almonds add a lovely change of texture.
I like to serve it with a tangy honey and mustard dressing, made with Dijon and wholegrain mustard.
For the salad:
500g carrots
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½-1 tablespoon of cumin seeds
1-2 teaspoons of ground cumin
½ pack of feta
¼-½ cucumber (optional)
¼-½ red onion (optional)
Handful of flaked almonds
Salad leaves
For the dressing:
1 tablespoon of runny honey
½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard
½ tablespoon of wholegrain mustard
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
6 tablespoons of olive or rapeseed oil
Seasoning
