I love the fresh carrots from the farmers markets, plus I am actually getting some fresh carrots from my garden! They are so tasty and I love to snack on them raw or cooked, like my roasted carrots with tarragon and butter. This is a great salad for a picnic or barbecue. It tastes great if you make it ahead and it all has time to marinate.
Simple Summer Carrot Salad
Salad:
6 cups carrots, shredded
1 cup chopped pineapple (fresh is best)
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup almonds
Dressing:
1 cup yogurt or kefir
1/8 cup whey
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
8 drops stevia (optional)
sprinkle of salt
In a large bowl with a lid, combine all of the salad ingredients and gently mix together. Combine the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. The longer it sits, the better it tastes in my opinion.
