Ingredients
- 3 carrots cut into 1 inch pieces
- 100 g rocket
- ¼ cup walnuts toasted
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 70 g goats cheese aka goats feta, or any feta
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- sea salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C and bring a pot of water to boil.
- Add the carrots to the pot and boil for 10 minutes or until a fork slides in easily.
- Once the carrots are cooked, drain and transfer to a lined baking tray. Use the bottom of a cup to press down and rough up the carrots. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add salt and pepper, then roast in the oven. The goal is to get them as close as possible to burning them without actually burning them. This will take about 20 - 25 minutes but keep an eye on them.
- Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to a small jar with the balsamic vinegar and shake.
- Assemble the salad by adding the rocket, walnuts, goats cheese, onion and carrots to a salad bowl, pour over the dressing and enjoy!
