Carrot Salad With Fresh Turmeric Root And Curry Leaves

This carrot salad makes for a delicious side dish. The salad brings ingredients together that are often present in Indian curries. Including fresh turmeric root, green chilies, and curry leaves and combines them with finely grated carrots, celery, and an apple. The salad dressing consists of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. Despite its simplicity, it adds.

The result is a sweetish fruity salad that intensifies its flavors when it is prepared and hour to one day in advance.
It quickly became one of our favored salads during the winter months when the tomatoes are scarce and watery, the cucumbers are expensive and just imported many over-prized capsicums are available on the market.
