roast carrot salad with goats cheese, salsa verde and honey

I’ve been teaching this roast carrot salad with goats cheese, salsa verde and honey in classes for a while and it always gets amazing feedback. It is perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish to roast chicken.

Get into the habit of serving your salads on a platter rather than a bowl so that everyone will get the right combo of ingredients – I always find the good bits drop to the bottom in a bowl.

The salsa verde bit is pretty amazing. One client’s family has christened it ‘Gemma’s amazing green sauce’ such is their love of it – they make a jar every week. Once you have this sauce under your belt, you’ll use it on all sorts of things. I love it stirred through pasta or served with fish, chicken or as a dip for veggies. Use it anywhere you’d use pesto. The salsa verde can be made the day before. Just keep it in a tightly sealed jar in the fridge and serve it at room temperature
