Carrot Orange Salad is a super tasty salad bursting with flavours. With a homemade salad dressing, it sure is a refreshing salad.
Ingredients
- 1 large carrot peeled and sliced
- 2 large oranges peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium cucumber sliced
- 6 pieces red radish thinly sliced
- 1 cup salad leaves
- 1 tsp fennel seeds lightly roasted

Orange Vinaigrette:
Makes ¼ Cup
- 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp maple syrup/honey
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp coarse pepper powder
- 1 tsp orange peel cut into very thin strips or grated
Instructions
- Peel the oranges. Save a small strip of the peel to cut into thin strips to add to the salad.
- Remove the white part of the orange and seeds and cut into segments.
- Mix the orange, carrot, onion and lettuce in a big bowl. Keep it in the fridge till required.
- Roast the sesame and fennel seeds lightly. When it cools down add to the salad.
- Mix all the ingredients of the dressing very well and pour over the salad just before serving.
Notes
- I usually put all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar and give it a good shake.
- Can lightly crush the fennel seeds if you like.
- Grate the orange peel instead of cutting into strips.
- For a nice crunchy salad, leave the lettuce leaves in ice cold water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
