    ROAST CARROT SALAD ON A WHITE PLATTER SURROUNDED ON ONE SIDE WITH BABY CARROTS

    In this Roast Carrot Salad, the Harissa paste adds heat and warmth to the carrots and the maple syrup makes them deliciously caramelised while the feta adds a nice saltiness.

    What is Harissa and what can I use as a substitute?

    Harissa is a fiery Tunisian blend made with chillies, spices, garlic and oil. You should be able to find it in the International food aisle at your supermarket or at a Middle Eastern specialty store. However, if you are unable to find it, try our recipe.

    Alternatively, you may substitute with either sambal oelek or sriracha as they both the garlicky heat that is needed here. Then simply add a ¼ teaspoon each of ground coriander and cumin powder to add the necessary spicy aroma.

    Serving ideas

    Serve this salad alongside a roasted lamb shoulder or leg, a pork belly roast or grilled meats and poultry. Sensational to serve alongside Greek-style beef stew.

    Alternatively, you can add some grilled chicken or chickpeas and transform it into a meal.

    Can I make it ahead?

    This salad can easily be prepared the day before, just keep all the components separate and assemble just before serving.

    What about the leftovers?

    While the spinach leaves may have wilted slightly this salad can still be enjoyed the following day.

    You can add some cooked chickpeas or some quinoa to bulk it up and make another meal out of it.
