Vegetable Spaghetti
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 teaspoons shelled raw pistachios
- 1 large beet (about 8 ounces), cooked, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt
- 64 fresh raspberries
- 16 leaves mint
- 16 leaves cilantro
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl halfway with ice and water. Slice carrots with a spiral cutter into long, thin spirals (or julienne them). Then cut each curl crosswise to make 3-inch-long sections. Blanch carrots in hot water for about 10 seconds. Remove and plunge into ice water. Drain and set aside. Whisk oil, orange juice and vinegar in a bowl. Add salt and mix well. Set aside. Toast pistachios in a small pan until fragrant. Chop into pieces. Blend diced beets in a blender until smooth; set aside. Toss carrots with dressing. Divide carrots among 8 small plates. Spoon 1 tablespoon yogurt onto each plate, next to each mound of carrots, then spoon 1 tablespoon beet puree on top of yogurt. Divide raspberries and pistachios among plates. Garnish with mint and cilantro.
