Carrot, Ginger and Chilli Salad

Now, I wasn't too sure about this one when I was delegated to make it by the manfriend's parents, but it is surprisingly yummy, and nice and refreshing. We had it with a curry, as per 'Jamie's 30 minute meals' rogan josh recipe, and it really complimented it, cutting through the spices and cleansing the palate. But I reckon it would go well with a range of curries and stir fries, even mexican maybe? Anyway, here you go, (this version of the recipe is from my own head, a de-faffed version of jamie's!)

Carrot, Ginger and Chilli Salad

5 or 6 carrots, washed

1 red chilli, (deseeded to make it less spicy)

2 cm ginger

Good handful of fresh coriander

Toasted almonds

Olive oil (preferably extra virgin)

Lemon

Top and tail carrots and grate (use a food blender for speed if you have one)

Peel and grate ginger and chop the coriander and chilli into small pieces

Plonk the carrot, almonds, grated ginger, chopped coriander and chilli into a salad bowl

Drizzle with olive oil, grate in a little lemon zest and squeeze in the juice of about a 1/4 of a lemon.

Mix it baby!

MUNCH!

yum yum. Healthy too! Sorry for lack of photo, I ate it too fast.
