Grated Carrot, Jaffa Blood Orange & Walnut Salad

  • 2 x Jaffa Sweet Reds (Blood oranges)
  • 8 x Large Carrots (grated)
  • 1 x Jaffa Seedless Lemon (juiced)
  • 50ml of agave syrup
  • 60ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 15g of freshly chopped parsley
  • sea salt
  • 2 handfuls of walnuts
  1. Cut the top and bottom from the Jaffa Sweet Reds, just down to the flesh, then place the oranges on their ends. Cut side down and carefully following the shape of the orange, cut the peel off in strips from top to bottom, making sure you take the white pith too. Then turn them on their side and cut into approx. 1cm / ¾ inch thick rounds. Do this on a board or somewhere that will catch any Jaffa orange juice that you may squeeze out. This can be added to the dish too.
  2. Squeeze any excess juice out of the grated carrots to prevent the salad from being too soggy (you can drink any juice extract). In a large bowl, combine the carrots with all the other ingredients. This should be a punchy, citrusy salad with just enough sweetness from the agave.
  3. Let all the flavours combine for 15 minutes, then taste again, adjust the seasoning with more juice, parsley, salt and agave if necessary – and serve.
  4. Enjoy!
