Entertaining for holidays is always so enjoyable for me.  I love planning the menu and decorating the house.  Deciding whether to have a formal sit down dinner or a casual buffet style gathering.  I try to limit my formal dinners to groups of 12 or less. Anything more than that becomes very difficult.  

Easter is normally a formal sit down dinner of just immediate family and perhaps a couple of dear friends.  I don't know what this year will bring with COVID19.  It may be a very small dinner party.

Whether you end up with a crowd or just a few, I hope that your Easter is very blessed.  I think I will still make my usual feast and make plates to deliver to those who are home alone and unable to have company or leave their homes due to this virus.  

This salad will be served up as a second course.  How are you celebrating Easter in this new world in which we find ourselves?

How to cook Honey Roasted Carrot Salad

1. Toss the carrots with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper and place onto a baking sheet in a single layer.  Roast in a preheated 400* oven for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.  
2. Whisk together 1 teaspoon olive oil with the honey, water and a pinch of salt.  Place the almonds in a small bowl and add 1 1/2 t. of the honey mixture.  Toss to coat and place in a single layer on a small baking sheet.   Place in the oven with the carrots, drizzling the remaining honey mixture over the carrots.  Roast for another 5 minutes or so, until the almonds are golden brown and the carrots are fork tender.
3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
4. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and pepper.  Place the mixed greens into a large bowl and toss with the dressing.  Place onto a  platter and top with the carrots and almonds to serve.
