Ingredients


2 cup Spelt, cooked (berries)
1 tsp Salt (more or less to taste)
2 tbsp Grape seed oil
2 1/2 tsp Curry powder
2 tsp Mustard seeds
3/4 tsp Cardamom, ground
3/4 tsp Coriander, ground
6 small Carrots (peeled & cut into 1/4" dice)
1 dash Black pepper
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
1 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
1/2 medium Lemon (washed, cut lengthwise, ends removed, finely chopped with peel)
3 cup Arugula
2 cup Cilantro (coriander) (packed, plus more for garnish)
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions


  1. Place spelt and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium pot. Add water to cover by 1 1/2". Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until spelt is tender and water is mostly absorbed, about 1 hour. Drain; place in a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add curry, mustard seeds, cardamom, and coriander; cook, stirring often, until spices are fragrant and mustard seeds begin to pop (2-3 min). Stir in carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until carrots are crisp-tender (5-6 min).
  3. Add vinegar and stir until evaporated. Stir in onion and lemon. Remove pan from heat and stir until onion is wilted (1-2 min). Add vegetable mixture to bowl with spelt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool. 
  4. Before serving: add arugula, cilantro, and olive oil to spelt mixture; toss to combine. Transfer salad to a large platter. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Notes:

Carrots

are an excellent source of beta carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body and is so important for vision health and immunity!
