Had a lonely avocado resting on the counter and found this interesting 'salad'. I used cumin seeds too - and a grind more of salt. Liked it a lot! Akila's comment made me smile as I still had plenty of 'crunch' from the walnuts in the pasta. A nice dinner on a very cold day in the south [I'm writing this in the winter of 2010] - up from 10 degrees this morning to a sultry 27 degrees at noon!

Instead of using ground cumin, I sprinkled cumin seeds over the carrots. I absolutely agree with it needing generous salt and pepper. While good, it didn't completely blow me away because everything in the salad was soft --- soft roasted carrots, soft creamy avocados. I wanted just a little bit of crunch, too. When I make it again, I might try adding some roasted broccoli or some finely chopped pecans. We made this salad a few weeks ago and didn’t change much.

I had never though of putting roasted carrots in salad. Will have to try this on the next coolish day. Japan summers are murder. Intriguing. I had never though of putting roasted carrots in salad.

I did have sweet potatoes, fresh thyme and limes! It was beautiful, and a big hit! I let the sweet potatoes get a little crunchy, and they contrasted so nicely with the smooth avocado. next time I get carrots in the CSA box, I will be making it with them!

I need to roast the carrots longer next time, but after giving it 40 minutes I just needed to serve dinner (not sure what happened there, carrots). Thanks for the recipe!
