The farmer’s market is a huge source of inspiration for me, the bright fragrance of fresh produce, with its vibrant colors and textures is like a painter’s palette. When shopping for heirloom vegetables it’s always a treat to find them in so many colors, like the brilliant multicolored carrots that inspired me to make this salad.
I’m always trying to bring fresh and local vegetables home to serve to my family and this is a perfect dish with its fun shapes, bold colors, rich textures, and its packed with a ton of nutrients.
This dressing brings an Asian flavor with the ginger and chili oil. It has the perfect blend of sweetness from the honey, a bit of saltiness, and a nice bit of a kick with the added chili oil. You can also eliminate the chili if you’re serving to the kids. My husband is gluten free, so I’m always looking for alternatives and using coconut amino is a great substitute for soy sauce.
