Tip
We recommend using Australian or Greek feta in this recipe, as it is a harder style feta and crumbles more easily.
This is a great dish to make ahead for dinner parties or to take to a barbecue.

This dressing will last about 1 week in the fridge in a sealable container. The mint will discolour over the week. We suggest leaving the mint out and adding it just before serving.

How long do you think the dressing would last for? I would like to make extra dressing to take camping this weekend.
I made this Christmas day and had very good feedback. I only used half the paprika and had to leave out the garlic (as I can't eat it). Even though the carrots where all of a similar size I found some of them were better cooked than others. When I make it next time I'll give them a stir after 10 minutes.
great recipe - the dressing is very tasty and goes well with the carrots, so easy to make and looks great on the table
