I’ve given the recipe that I use for my cancer nutrition workshops, but I have suggested various add-ins that complement. Basically anything vaguely Middle Eastern or Mediterranean can be eaten in its herbal, sweet company. But also some goats cheese, leftover quinoa and lentils too.īut it is fantastic as a colourful, crunchy side to spiced grilled fish or chicken. Today’s carrot salad – on steroids (taken on my phone) – loads of veg added, including beetroot, radish, avocado, cucumber and mixed leaves. We had a version of this for lunch today with Seven-Seed Spelt Bread, which also features in the main images on this page. This is a super recipe to knock up and serve alongside freshly made hummus or other dips. Especially in this raw food recipe, which emphasises their natural sweet goodness. Here’s a great link to more nutrition information on this favourite veg. Carrots are blessed with not only an heroic amount of the antioxidant vitamin, beta-carotene but also vitamins K, C, Bs 6, 3 and 1, biotin, lots of fibre, potassium and numerous colour-related plant compounds that seem to nip numerous diseases in the bud. I even feature them in a porridge! And it’s really good too. Whether in a side dish or salad, in a main, as a snack, juice or even sweet, carrots are easily one of our favourite and most versatile vegetables, having both sweet and savoury notes. Sweet, delicate, crunchy, carrots are the one vegetable that most of us seem to like. They are however best in the coming months, starting from now. Indoors.Ĭarrots are one of those crops that gets grown year-round. That by the way is a euphemism for awfully wet but with an occasional peek of the Big Guy. I haven’t sown any carrots this year, but my mint and parsley – used in this recipe – are already very happy with the very Scottish mix of sunshine and showers. Our sun-filled weekend spent labouring in the garden now seems rather far away. Mind you, I never wear shorts but I can always eat salad. And this one doesn’t contain lettuce, so with any luck those of you who only crave salads when you can also wear shorts will be tempted. I know it is a salad, and many of us – with rain either in progress (me) or threatening to do so – don’t feel terribly salady. But a splash of colour on a plate always cheers. I hope this bright pop of colour is a welcome addition to your inbox today.
