In this salad, we're roasting carrots with garlic, cumin, and thyme until they’re fragrant and full of concentrated sweetness. Peppery arugula and creamy avocado are then tossed into the mix, resulting in lots of contrasting colors, textures, and flavors. Throw in some pepitas and sour cream for garnish and you’ve got a salad that sings with sunshine-y vibes and lots of veggie wholesomeness.
