Sweet carrots and bitter frisee (or curly endive) are tossed together with a bright vinegar dressing and chewy dates to balance out each flavor. Crispy bacon pieces or salty nuts would complement this salad nicely. Substitute radicchio or Belgian endive for the frisee, if available.
All right, we try to keep the special equipment to a minimum, but this in fact requires a juicer. Or one of those fancy-schmancy blenders that obliterates vegetables into pureed glory. This is also barely a recipe, but we are including it because if you have leftovers of the vegetable matter they go great in our Carrot Date Bars. And you know how much we enjoy helping you use up those leftovers!

Carrot juice dyes the tofu a brillant, almost egg colored yellow and lends a healthy dose of beta-carotene. If you do not have the carrot juice, just use a few extra shredded carrots to make this veggie packed breakfast.

It is optional, but adds a healthy dose of B-vitamins and a nutty flavor that I just love in my tofu scrambles.
The perfect herb for the carrot is right on its top. Embrace the often neglected for their culinary enjoyment, fluffy, green carrot tops. If you can’t find carrots with their greens still intact, substitute parsley.
