Carrot Salad with Raisins, Pine nuts and Feta
Hello Easter dinner side dish!
I love nothing more than a side dish that can be made ahead of time. When I’m entertaining I do as much prep the day before as possible. I don’t like to be stressed in the kitchen (or ever), and I really like to enjoy the company that I have over. I think your company enjoys their time more if they actually get to see you, and if you’re not stressed out too.
Last year I made a Brussel Sprout Salad with Apples, Golden Raisins, Walnuts & Parmesan which is a great make-ahead salad and every Easter I make this rice salad with a curry vinaigrette, radishes, asparagus and toasted almonds (my mom’s recipe) which is one of the only food traditions that I have.
Happy Easter!
