Frisée and Carrot Ribbon Salad with Za'atar-Lemon Vinaigrette

This vibrant frisée and carrot ribbon salad is a celebration of colour and texture, bringing together the slight bitterness of chicory with the natural sweetness of rainbow carrots. The dish is elevated by a zesty za'atar-lemon vinaigrette, which provides a bright, herbaceous punch that perfectly complements the earthy vegetables. Topped with spiced, toasted pistachios and juicy quartered grapes, every mouthful offers a satisfying crunch and a refreshing burst of flavour.

As a sophisticated vegan dish, this salad works beautifully as a light lunch or a striking side for a weekend dinner party. The use of a vegetable peeler to create delicate carrot ribbons ensures a professional finish that looks as good as it tastes. Packed with fresh parsley and heart-healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil, it is a nourishing choice for those seeking a modern, Middle Eastern-inspired meal.

Ingredients for Frisée and Carrot Ribbon Salad with Za'atar-Lemon Vinaigrette

  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

  • 60ml fresh lemon juice

  • Kosher salt

  • 180ml unsalted, shelled raw pistachios, coarsely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons za'atar, divided

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 large heads of frisée (about 675g), torn into bite-sized pieces

  • 450g medium carrots, preferably rainbow, shaved lengthwise with a vegetable peeler

  • 2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves with tender stems

  • 230g green seedless grapes, quartered, divided

  • Flaky sea salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Combine shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast pistachios, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon za'atar in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool and set aside.

Add honey and 1 teaspoon za'atar to lemon mixture and whisk to combine, then whisk in 60ml extra-virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream.

Place frisée, carrots, parsley, 3/4 cup grapes, and half of the pistachios in a large bowl and drizzle with vinaigrette. Gently toss until frisée is evenly dressed; season with sea salt and pepper. Top with remaining pistachios and 90g grapes.
