Roast Carrot and Avocado Salad with Citrus Sour Cream and Crunchy Seeds
Description
This is strictly my version of one of ABC Kitchen's favourite salad recipes. In the States many restaurants of this calibre have an "informal "non-photograph policy. Always ask before you take. And they almost never give recipes.
Serve as a platter with other plattered salads. Serve as a starter or as an accompaniment to simply cooked meat or poultry dishes. Excellent salad to serve at a barbecue.
INGREDIENTS|
565g (3 medium) carrots (peeled and cut into chunks on an angle) 1 tsp dried fennel seeds (lightly crushed) 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil ½ tsp flaky sea salt pinch freshly ground black pepper |
