Roasted Carrot Noodles with Creamy Herb Dressing

Roasted Carrot Noodles with Creamy Herb Dressing

Ingredients

• 3 large carrots, peeled, spiralized into spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 medium ripe avocados
• 8 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
• 1 tablespoon hemp hearts, for garnish

For the dressing

• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup packed fresh dill
• 1/4 cup packed fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lay out the carrot noodles, spacing them apart. Drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, or until al dente.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the egg yolk, garlic powder, garlic, lemon juice and vinegar, and pulse until smooth. Add olive oil, dill, parsley and chives, and process again, adding water if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing has the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Peel and pit the avocados. Cut each half into four slices.

Divide the carrot noodles among four plates. Top with smoked salmon and avocado. Drizzle the dressing over the top, and garnish with the hemp hearts.
