Tsimmes Salad is a traditional Jewish dish made from slow-cooked root vegetables and fruits. The name 'tsimmes' comes from the Yiddish word 'tsimlen,' which means 'to simmer.' This Tsimmes Salad recipe puts a modern spin on the classic dish by serving it as a chilled salad, perfect for a hot summer day. The roasted carrots add a lovely caramelized sweetness, while the plums bring a juicy and refreshing flavor. The scallions add a hint of herbaceousness, which balances out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.	Toss the carrots with a drizzle of olive oil and spread them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the carrots are softened. Remove from oven and let the carrots cool.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted carrots, plums, and scallion. Mix well.
4.	Serve chilled and enjoy!
