For the 2nd round, the contestants has CARROT to work on and make a nice dish out of it!

I've been quite busy the whole week and it is only today that I got some free time making my entry! I am so happy to make it on time so that I don't miss out the precious points!

Here's my entry, hope you'll like it!

Roasted Carrots Salad with Yogurt and Citrus Dressing, Tomato Salad!

---

Ingredients I used:

To make my dish, I used the following ingredients!

• Carrots
• Orange / Lemon / Apple / Pomelos
• Watercress / Greek Yogurt / Olive Oil
• Mint / Onion / Tomato
• Salt & Pepper

---

Step 1 - Roasted Carrots

I started by peeling the carrots and put them to roast with little butter and olive oil in a pan!
I simply seasoned with salt and pepper as the carrots already was so nice in taste!

---

Once well roasted and cooked, set aside for plating!

---

Step 2 - Tomato Salad

Realize a salad with the tomato, onion and mint by chopping them all in small brunoise.

Add olive oil and season to taste.

---

Step 3 - Yogurt & Citrus Dressing

Take 2 spoons of Greek Yogurt and mix with little olive oil in a bowl.

---

Add pieces of pomelos, lemon and orange flesh to the mixture + mint leaves.

Check the seasoning!

---

Step 4 - Garnish

Wash and cut all the different garnishes that we will use for plating as you can see on the below picture.

---

Here's all the different preparations that I prepared. Once all this is done, we are ready for plating and make something very nice.

---

Step 5 - Plating

This is my most favorite part when cooking...

Plating my prepared food is one of my favorite passion, and I just love making something refined up to the Steemit Iron Chef standards set by the chef!

• I started by choosing a blue plate and placed 2 big spoons of yogurt & citrus dressing then put the roasted carrot on it!

---

• Next I added the tomato salad on top of roasted carrot...and added the other pieces of roasted carrots too!

---

• Then I just went freestyle and added the rest of the garnishes that I prepared.

---

Final plate!

This is how the complete plate looks like, how do you find it friends?

What I like with this contest is that it pushes you to think a lot and work on a different product each week. Our creative mind keeps on working until we finalize our entry.
