Baked Carrots, Smoked Salmon And Crunchy Lettuce Salad

I know it’s a long title but I couldn’t take out anything :). Baked carrots have a special flavour and sweetness and are perfect for making a salad more deep and interesting. Then we have the salty smoked salmon and the kick from the lemon juice. An interesting experience. Give it a try :)

The salad

Preheat the oven to 210C with ventilation.

Peel the carrots season them with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Spread the olive oil with your hands to cover all the carrots surface.

Place the carrots in a medium baking tray, on baking paper, then put the tray in the oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes, until you see dark spots on the carrots.

Take the tray out of the oven and let it chill for about 15 minutes.

Tear the lettuce with your hands in bite size pieces and arrange it in the serving bowl.

Cut the baked carrots in medium dice pieces and the cherry tomatoes in two, then arrange them evenly together with the smoked salmon, on the top of the lettuce.

Crush the baked almonds and spread them over.

Drizzle with olive oil and add a dust of salt.

Finally add the lemon juice and the balsamic vinegar.

You can also prepare separately the dressing, but for this salad I added them one by one and mixed the salad while eating it.

Croutons and grated parmesan cheese if you consider and …

Enjoy !
