Arugula Salad with Roasted Carrots, Fennel and Creamy Green Goddess Dressing

Ingredients

  • 6 large carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1/4 inch coins on the bias
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 265g silken tofu
  • Handful each of fresh chives, fresh tarragon, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, fresh dill and fresh basil
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 1 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Toss the carrot coins with the garam masala, smoked paprika, Aleppo pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Place the carrot coins on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast in the oven until beginning to caramelize and tender crisp, about 20-25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.

To prepare the dressing, place the tofu, fresh herbs, lemon zest and juice, honey and remaining olive oil in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and season well with salt and pepper.

Toss the cooled carrots with the fennel, arugula and dressing. Serve immediately.

Serves: 4
