Honey and dates sweeten carrots for Rosh Hashanah
When Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish new year — rolls around, sugar, and specifically honey, often is on the menu. It’s a kind of edible prayer, a hopeful way of attracting sweet things to one’s life in the year to come.
That’s why this salad is based on a sweet vegetable — the carrot — and flavored with honey and dates. But you don’t have to celebrate Rosh Hashanah to love this recipe. Refreshing and simple to prepare, it’s a great and healthy end-of-summer treat no matter what your faith.
Technique-wise, I borrowed a trick I learned for beets: I grate them.
