What do you do with these carrots?

You buy a big bag of carrots because they are cheaper, one month later, it is still in the fridge, you don't want to bake a carrot cake because you don't want the extra pounds...you're too tired to make stew, aside from juicing it or tossing it in the freezer, or do nothing and forget then let it rot... you just want an easy way to enjoy this carotene rich nutritional hero.

Here's what you do:

Peel the carrots, cut , then toss in the food processor


Here is the desired result


Grab: 

A handful of raisins (or as many as you want)
1 or 2 Lemons (as desired)
1 Navel Orange


In a bowl, mix the processed carrots and raisins
Squeeze the juices from the lemon/s and orange, add to the salad (use a sieve so you don't include the seeds)
Grate some lemon zest and orange to taste (optional)
Mix well.

Here is your quick salad :)


Let the salad stand, the raisins will soak in the juices, and it will reconstitute
It tastes sweet and it's packed with essential nutrients
A great tasting, guilt- free food..yum!

  1. Oooh that is a great suggestion! I have not tried it that way before...perhaps you could also chop up some rocket or iceberg lettuce for that extra color? :)
