Author Notes

Every Winter my tolerance for chilly weather decreases. I have no patience for dressing in fashion when it’s 40º outside. Sometimes I feel like a wimp, I’ll readily admit that. When all I want to do is stay under the covers but I can’t spend the day in bed (if you know someone who does this successfully, please contact me), then I reach for a warm salad like this one. —NakedBeet

I love a simple warm carrot salad. I've never tried it with olive tapenade. But I will soon!

Mmmmm. Sounds tasty. And easy. My kind of recipe!! I bet the salty olives go really well with the sweet roasted carrots. I definitely plan to try this one soon. Thanks for posting it!!! ;o)
