As spring teases its arrival, this March, I’m celebrating the humble yet mighty carrot – a versatile hero in a plant-based kitchen. Fresh, in season, and bursting with flavour, carrots are not just for crunching on raw. They're a powerhouse of taste and nutrition waiting to shine in your meals.
I've hand-picked three carrot-centric recipes from Rebel Recipes that are perfect for this time of year. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal, a refreshing side, or a sweet treat, I've got you covered. Plus, I'll share some top tips to elevate these dishes even further.
Let's embrace the vibrant, nourishing abundance of carrots!

Perfect Lentils - Aim for tender yet firm lentils to add body to your salad.
Dress to Impress - A tangy dressing can lift the salad, balancing the sweet and earthy notes.
Nutty Crunch - Toast your walnuts for an extra layer of crunch and flavour.

Top Tips:
