Hi Sophie, I had no idea that you could eat parsnips raw!!! The salad looks beautiful though, and it has so many ingredients that I love. Definitely going to give this a go! Thanks!

It was some years ago that I came across a recipe that used raw parsnip but I lost it before I got a chance to try it.
Then tonight I was talking to an American friend who has never tried roasted parsnips. She asked me if parsnips could be eaten raw so I looked.
The recipe looks very tasty as it stands although I’m not a big fan of chick peas so I might well experiment with using either kidney beans or haricot beans instead.
Good and tasty recipe though and nice to see you source from an organic supplier

Would have never thought to eat a parsnip raw! Fennel and celeriac yes, but no, never parsnip. I can imagine how much better this salad would taste the day after having been left in that fabulous dressing!

Just ate it and absolutely loved. Found some baby parsnips, which were quite sweet and less fiery, but no wooden cores either.
You know what the best bit is? The thyme – my oh my, it works brilliantly with all the other ingredients.
Thanks for opening my mind to raw parsnips Sophie!

Hi,
This is my first time on your blog. Don’t remember even how I got here ;)
The recipe sound great. I never thought of using raw parsnip.
I love that you give options for other recipes using the ingredient.

This looks absolutely delicious. I’m always wondering what else I could do with parsnips. Thanks for the wonderful idea. Gorgeous blog!

this is gorgeous. i am a huge lover of parsnips but i have to admit i’ve never thought about eating them completely raw. we’ve eaten them warmed up in thin ribbons w/ pasta, but not like this. i’m intrigued…

This sounds like a great winter dish. I also have never used raw parsnips, but what the heck, why not? It certainly looks tasty.
