Vanilla Cardamom Roasted Carrot Salad

A sweet, smoky, and gently spiced carrot salad that is perfect alongside barbecue meats, grilled chicken, or anything coming off the summer grill. The cardamom, coriander, and Beyond Good Pure Ground Vanilla give the carrots a warm, unexpected depth, while the pickled onion and sunflower seeds keep it bright, crunchy, and fresh.
