Welcome to Carrot Week!

We’re paying homage to the humble carrot, a vegetable that is often overlooked in simmering pots of soup and on mixed vegetable trays.

This week, we’re giving carrots the attention they deserve. Front and center.

This carrot recipe is the first in a series of four for Carrot Week:

 Yes, carrots should be celebrated! 

About The Recipe

This recipe is delicious in its simplicity.

Carrots are naturally sweet, and turn into something amazing when roasted in the oven. Feta is tangy and flavorful.

The combination of carrots and Feta is a classic one, and this salad needs nothing more.
Fresh carrots from the farmers' market

The Cost

Carrots are consistently among the cheapest vegetables in the supermarket. And they’re also one of the most versatile. Here’s what I paid for this salad:

  • 2 lb. bag carrots: $1.98
  • 1/2 cup Feta cheese (I got mine from the grocery store salad bar): $.25
  • Olive oil: $.20

Total cost: $2.43 for four servings
