local rainbow carrot winter salad with chestnuts, charred longan, and rosemary-citrus glaze



tastes more like a dessert than a salad but every bit as nutritious!
longan is a delicious dried fruit that is commonly use in Chinese medicine as a blood builder-which we need in wintertime! the taste is sweet and slightly smoky, and is great for savory as well as sweet dishes.

you’ll need:
3 c thinly sliced rainbow carrots
1/2 c dried longan fruit (broiled in a pan a few minutes until slightly charred. if you can’t get longan, dried dates are delicious as well!)
1/2 c roasted chestnuts, sliced
sea salt & black pepper to taste
-combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

glaze:
1/2 c freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/4 c full fat organic coconut milk
3 T fresh rosemary leaves
sumac, sea salt & black pepper to taste
-combine in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until thickened. pour over salad mixture and serve!

(even better day 2)
