Prep time: 15 min

Total time: 15 min
Yield: Six servings
I have been making variations of this quintessentially Israeli salad for almost 30 years. Not only does it taste and look good, but it is so easy to prepare that I make it for last-minute dinner guests when I have no lettuce in the house. (Somehow my fridge is always stocked with raw carrots.)
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8 sprigs fresh parsley, stems removed
- 1 pound carrots, peeled
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Several grinds of pepper

About The Show
In 1994, acclaimed food writer and cooking teacher Lynne Rossetto Kasper was receiving accolades for her debut book, The Splendid Table, which at that time was the only book to have won both the James Beard and Julia Child Cookbook of the Year awards. Among the many people enchanted by the book was producer and foodie Sally Swift, who thought the time could be right for a radio program on food.
