Roasted Carrot and Avocado Salad


Anyone else enjoy over-roasted, slightly burned vegetables? I also like moderately burned toast and black roasted marshmallows. I'm weird like that. But this particular salad would be good if you didn't decide to char the carrots like I did. No need to be just like me, unless you're into awesomeness.

I had some leftover carrots and came across this salad. I really loved it - the cumin added the perfect balance to the naturally sweet carrot, and the contrast between creamy avocado and crunchy vegetable was perfect. I will be making this again. Recipe HERE.



(Ok so I didn't exactly mean to burn the crap out of that one carrot.)
