This delicious varation on a carrot salad was sent in by Eve’s Little Earthlings. I can’t wait to try it. But watch out! Don’t let those carrots get away! They are rather lively…
Ingredients:
¼ cup walnuts
1 tablespoon grated coconut
2 cups grated peeled carrots
1 apple, cored, peeled and grated
½ lemon, juiced and zested
½ cup orange juice
½ cup raisins or currants
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons grated gingerroot
Directions:
Toast walnuts for a few moments in a frying pan on medium heat and add the coconut towards the end of the toasting. Be careful, coconut burns very quickly.
When I am in a hurry, I skip the toasting!
In a large bowl combine carrot, apple, lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, raisins, salt and ginger
Top with walnuts and coconut and serve, or chill in fridge until the next meal.
And here are a few carrots that escaped being grated today!
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Looks yummy!
I'll try it out later today.
Those run-away carrots are too cutr to turn into food!
The orange juice and coconut are entirely new variation for me. All like carrots in my family, I can make anytime 🙂

Love those carrots at the end!! Bought a 5 lb bag or organic carrots today… thanks for the recipe!
That looks delicious. I'll have to try it sometime. Thank you.
