Here's another recipe that I originally found in a BBC Good Food magazine (where it was, if I recall correctly, called Indian Summer Salad, though what's Indian about this, I have no idea), which incidentally is one of my absolute favorite food mags and the only one I currently subscribe to. I don't have any BBC channels (oops, Per informs me that we do indeed get BBC Prime & World) but I really wish I had BBC Food.
Still cold and snowy, but this salad is not too summery. It' s great alongside a steak.
I've spent the day baking, so there'll be plenty of cookie recipes coming later on! With the kittens, we also get a lot more visitors than usually, so I like to keep the freezer well stocked with goodies!
Creamy Carrot Slaw
3 carrots
handful of radishes
1 small zucchini
1/2 red onion
fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp white wine vinegar (balsamic if you got it)
1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1-2 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
Grate the carrots coarsely, or cut them julienne on a mandolin. (Or by hand, if you're very bored.) Slice the radishes and the zucchini and chop the onion. Mix all the veggies in a bowl, and tear over a few mint leaves if you'd like. Mix the dressing, whisking vigorously to incorporate everything, and toss with the salad.

An indian summer refers to a hot period in early Autumn, rather than a summer that is particularly Indian. Which could help to explain why this salad isn't too summery!
Martian77 - oh, of course! That totally did not occur to me, but I bet that's the right reasoning :) Thank you!!
Looks great! And everything with dijon is delicious :-)
If you want to watch BBC food you're very welcome to us :-)
Good Food is absolutely the best and I also would love to watch BBC Food from bed!
I bet that tastes great!
That carrot slaw of yours seems yummy. I just got to try to make that...
Yes as Martian77 said Indian summer means sensommar in Swedish but I thought that we use indian sommar too sometimes....oh well haven't lived in Sweden for awhile.
Men Anne då, Indian Summer = Brittsommar...;)
Låter jättegott, allt med morötter ÄR jättegott!
I completely get the BBC Food hysteria ;) My sister gets it, but I don't and it's been bugging hte hell out of me (though I've been watching it alot at her place...) but when I move I might be lucky enough to get it, lets keep our fingers crossed!!!
