Ingredients

  • Carrots, one of the cheapest vegetables and you can find it everywhere! Full of vitamins such as A, K. C, Calcium, Potassium and Iron! Super healthy for you!
  • Raisins! Another great ingredient! Rich in flavour and gous very well with carrots.
  • Fresh herbs, adds so much flavour to the salad, and also very healthy for you!

Dressing

The dressing has a mayo base, but isn’t overly thick and creamy like some mayo based carrot salads can be. The mayonnaise is combined with a touch of sweetener (agave) for sweetness and mustard to give it a nice kick of spice. You can prepare the salad and dressing in advance and store them separately, or toss them all together, either way it will last for a few days in the fridge.

  • It will last 2-3 days in the fridge. Unlike lettuce based salads, leftover doesn’t get mushy and will taste delicious for more days.
  • You can prepare ingredients in advance! It’s perfect salad as a side dish and you can prepare it in advance. Just mix it with the dressing before serving and enjoy fresh carrot salad.
