Recipe Notes
Mentioned was that this is a simple and tasteful salad idea.
To make this recipe you will need to use average sized carrots that have been grated. I also mentioned simple ways to enhance this salad to your likings. Adding raisins or dried cranberries is an easy way to give flavor, color and texture to this recipe. Another option that I like is adding chopped walnuts or chopped pecans for a nice flavor.
