Have you ever tried carrot greens? They taste quite a bit like parsley. So I set out to make this classic parsley salad using carrot greens instead. I'd rather not waste a perfectly good leafy green vegetable! Oh and I left out the classic ingredient bulgur wheat.
- Mince carrot greens until you get about 2 cups
- Mince mint to get about a 1/2 cup
- Press a clove of garlic into the green mix
- Add other veggies. This salad can take pretty much anything. I used a little of everything I had on hand:
- 1 rib of celery
- 2 raddishes
- 2 small carrots
- 1 green onion
- 1/2 medium onion, minced
- 6 quartered cherry tomatoes
- Add 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Add 1/8 to 1/4 cup olive oil
- Add 1t to 1T salt
Combine. Refrigerate to let flavors meld. Delicious, full of bright and fresh flavors.
I love to use carrot tops to flavor soups and roasts!
