      Summer has me craving salads. Here’s a delicious carrot salad, made with a combination of roasted and pickled carrots, with a fish sauce dressing, served on a bed of rice noodles. It’s topped with roasted peanuts, mint and fresh coriander leaves.

        I really like your proposal,it’s so fresh and thoughtfully put together.
        Your salad shows a well-achieved balance both visually and technically: the contrast between the roasted and pickled carrots adds depth, and the crunchy touch of the peanuts brings in texture very effectively.

        The arrangement of the herbs is harmonious and gives a delicious, summery sense of freshness. A beautiful dish!

        What inspired you to combine these two techniques (roasting and pickling) in a single ingredient? Were you aiming for contrast or complementarity?

        Thanks for sharing it.💫

          @Sussan Estela Olaya I saw the technique in a book (Mob One) and thought it seemed very unusual. The contrast of soft and sweet roasted carrots, alongside crunchy and salty-sour carrot ribbons worked very well indeed.

            @undefined How interesting, Mandy!
            The reference to the book Mob One sounds great, and the combination you created really works beautifully—you can tell you applied it with a lot of thought and care. That contrast between the sweet, tender roasted carrot and the crunchy, tangy pickled version adds such an appealing complexity to the dish.

            I also love that you explored an unusual technique and made it your own with such great taste. I can’t wait to see what you surprise us with next!

            Thanks for sharing the inspiration behind the dish 😊

          Love the contrast of roasted and pickled carrots, and that fish‑sauce dressing with herbs and peanuts sounds irresistibly vibrant. Totally craving a forkful right now 🍴
