Feathery carrot tops, the often discarded exclamation point to this popular vegetable, have a sprightly bitterness—almost a cross between radicchio and parsley—that makes them an intriguing accent to a crisp, cumin- scented slaw. Although it's wonderful made with regular orange carrots, you could also showcase the rainbow of offerings (in shades of scarlet, burgundy, and yellow) that beckon at farmers markets.
Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Step 1
Pick enough fronds from carrot tops to measure 1 cup, then coarsely chop.
Step 2
Cut carrots crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then julienne with slicer. 3Whisk together vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
Step 3
Toss cabbage, carrots, and chopped carrot tops in a large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season with salt and let stand 30 minutes before serving.

Back to TopDelicious! I went a bit crazy with the cumin and it was still good... but I love me some cumin. This recipe is fast, easy and cheap! Also, I much prefer a good vinaigrette slaw to the creamy kind. I am making this again for the next picnic.

Not a big hit with the family. Very plain and unexciting. Needed something more, but not sure what.

Very good, fast and easy to make. A bit too sweet for my taste so I'll cut the sugar in half next time. Even though I am not a big fan of cumin I did like the final product.

This was really good but I would use 1 tsp sugar next time. A bit too sweet...

A nice change from the traditional-type slaw. Nice & light.
