From the wide array of recipes which use carrots, I like raw grated carrot, carrot cake and carrot muffin best. Yang loves carrots but he likes them cooked to just tender to bite.
Enter the raw carrot salad today! :D I wanted Hannah to eat more vegetables in their raw forms and hence did this salad as an entrée for her lunch recently. I was glad to hear “Mommy, it is yum yum!” when I asked Hannah for feedback.
I used the finest grater I have at home to achieve fine slivers from 1/2 a small carrot. Then I squeezed juice out of a thin wedge of orange over it, dump in 1/2 teaspoon of mayonnaise, sprinkle some sultanas and toss everything together to mix well. Ta-da, a lovely salad done in no time. The orange juice and mayo are optional as the grated carrot was already so sweet, juicy and refreshing. If you’re going to give this salad a try, do buy carrots that are sweet smelling. :)
