Carrot Taboulleh — yeeees CARROT taboulleh. Not just the crunchy stems, but the greens as well. This take on the the wonderfully fresh and light Lebanese parsley salad is made with roasted cumin-carrots, toasted almonds and loads of green goodness from carrot tops, parsley, and mint. All tossed together with bulgur and finished off with a little olive oil and sunshiny lemon. Pomegranates give it a pop of color and delightfully tart\/sweet and refreshing flavor. This is a salad that will make your heart sing!<\/p>\n

Carrot Tabbouleh makes a great side dish<\/h2>\n

Serve it as a light lunch or with grilled meat, fish, halloumi, or even falafels and tahini sauce.<\/p>\n

Carrot tops are edible!<\/h2>\n

This may come as a surprise, but those green tops on your carrots are edible. Just like beet greens, radish greens and celery greens. All super delicious and loaded with nutrients! I would say that carrot greens have a herbaceous flavor that is vaguely reminiscent of, well, carrots! With a fresh parsley finish. I have heard that some people they can be described as tasting slightly bitter. Not like arugula bitter, but maybe something like baby arugula. To be honest, I didn’t even notice. But let’s not shy away from bitter greens. In addition to being nutritious, bitter greens are exceptionally beneficial for digestion and contain liver-boosting nutrients such as sulfur, along with fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).<\/p>\n

So what about that rumur that carrot tops are poisonous?<\/h2>\n

Yes, it has been rumored that carrot tops are poisonous, I did a little research and that’s actually not true. It’s true that carrot tops do have alkaloids, the supposed posion bearing villian, but actually alkaloids are a substance found in loads of leafy green vegetable and vegetables in the nightshade family: eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes, which are all perfectly safe and part of a nutritious diet.<\/p>\n

What can you do with carrot greens now that you know they are edible?<\/h2>\n

Think beyond carrot tabbouleh! Carrot tops can be saut\u00e9ed in a pan with some of your other favorite vegetables. Apropos…saut\u00e9eing them or blanching them also takes off any bitter edge. You can also cook them into a soup or stew. Bottom line: they are tasty and nutritious and you shouldn’t waste them.
