Recipe: Carrot Salad
This is what happens when I’m running low on food and don’t want to go to the store: I scrounge and experiment. In this case, I had a lot of carrots and a lemon, and added stuff from the pantry. I had this three times, and played with a variety of add-ons, and included here are the ones I liked. Experiment yourself and see what variations you like.
