05 Step

Gently combine the carrot mixture with the baby arugula. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor. (2 minutes)
For a nuttier flavor, toast the slivered almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
If Danish blue cheese is not available, Gorgonzola or Roquefort can be substituted.
To add a touch of warmth, consider incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes during the roasting process.
The salad can be prepared ahead of time up to the point of adding the arugula. Store the carrot mixture separately in the refrigerator and combine just before serving to prevent the arugula from wilting.
