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!

  2. Add Carrots, herbs, raisins to dressing and combine well.
  3. Top with feta and pine nuts. Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
  1. This salad could be made a day ahead ( and is almost even better), but wait to top with pine nuts and feta until ready to serve. This has potential to sit (covered) in the fridge for 1-2 days.
