Carrot Salad With White Miso Dressing Recipes

LOURO'S ROASTED HEIRLOOM CARROT SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut carrots into 2-inch diagonal pieces. If using different colors, keep carrots separate so the colors don't bleed into each other. Toss carrots with olive oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt and pepper. Lay carrots on a large baking sheet in one layer and roast until just tender but not mushy, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, place miso, vinegar, mirin and remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Smear dressing thinly on each plate and arrange carrots attractively on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with scallions and serve.
