Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Arugula Salad

Carrot season is almost here, so we knew we just had to share this recipe with you! We’ve been loving the “fancy” rainbow carrots from the farmer’s market, but any whole carrots will do for today’s recipe. Carrots are high in eye-healthy Vitamin A, as well as energy-boosting B vitamins, and healthy antioxidants.

If you are a fan of roasting carrots like we are, you’re going to love our Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Arugula Salad! Roasting carrots brings out the flavor and sweetness even more, and makes a simple dish feel just a little bit fancy. This salad features simple roasted carrots and chickpeas, a creamy tahini drizzle, tangy arugula, and fresh dill – all combined to create a dish sure to delight your tastebuds.

Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Arugula Salad from the Conscious Cleanse.

This cleanse-friendly recipe has been a go to for Jules this summer because she always has carrots on hand and has been growing arugula and dill. It’s always special when you make a meal featuring ingredients you’ve grown yourself, and this recipe is the perfect dish to feature your garden’s late summer bounty.
