Total Time25 minutes mins

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds urple or orange carrots crubbed, shaved on a mandoline or very thinly sliced into rounds
2 small grapefruits
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
10 small Medjool dates
1 handful Tarragon leave
a pinch Sel Magique Classic Blend

Instructions

Place carrots in a large bowl, season generously with salt, and toss to coat. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour to soften slightly. Pour off any liquid that collects in bowl.
Meanwhile, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working your way around, cut citrus flesh off cores in lobes. Cut each lobe into large pieces and place in a medium bowl; set aside. Squeeze cores over a small bowl to extract any juice (you want 2 Tbsp.; discard or drink any extra). Discard cores. Whisk oil, lime juice, and vinegar into orange juice; season with salt.
Pour half of dressing over carrots and let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve. Set remaining dressing aside.
Heat a small skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Cook dates, turning occasionally, until blackened in spots, about 3 minutes. Let cool; remove pits.
Just before serving, pour off excess liquid from carrots and discard (carrots will have softened by now). Drizzle reserved dressing over carrots and toss to coat. Tear dates into bite-size pieces; add to carrots along with reserved oranges and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Top with tarragon and a pinch of Sel Magique!
