Charred Carrot and Raisin Salad
4 carrots halved and cut in 1/2″ thick half moons
1/4 cup raisins
1/8 cup cider vinegar
1/8 cup water
4 tbs roasted pistachios
2 tbs fresh tarragon
10 small springs mint
2 tbs lemon vinaigrette
1/4 cup feta
1/8 cup cream cheese
Salt and Pepper TT
  1. Place cut carrots in cold salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3-7 minutes until firm tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Combine cider vinegar and water. Bring to boil and pour over raisins and let steep until softened.
  3. Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and cooled carrots. Char the carrots quickly, but with a deep color and finish with a little salt. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. In a bowl combine feta, cream cheese, salt, and pepper with a fork until smooth but still chunky.
  5. Toss charred carrots in a bowl with lemon vinaigrette.
Divide the whipped feta between two plates. Top with dressed carrots. Add raisins, pistachios, and herbs.
