asain carrot salad...

had this salad on easter at the neighbors house and loved it!  and i recently served it at bowie's birthday party and it was by far the most popular salad and i got lots of compliments. it is a combination i would have never thought of, but it is awesome!  it's hard to give amounts of each ingredient as it depends on how many you want to feed, but it is a forgiving salad, so use your best judgement. 

ingredients:

carrots (peeled) and sliced into medallions
avocados
toasted almonds
favorite asain style ginger sesame dressing

how to:

on a cookie sheet roast your carrots with olive oil, salt, turmeric and cumin.cook them until fork tender and they have some color.  allow them to cool.  you can serve this salad cold or room temp.  when you are ready to serve cube up some avocado, dress with asain ginger dressing and sprinkle the top with toasted almonds.  you can even roast the carrots the day before.
