Salads come in many shapes and sizes, and they span far beyond the classic salad with a lettuce base. This shredded carrot salad recipe contains zero lettuce, but with the filling shredded carrot base, you won't even miss it. And, there's a good reason why we all should be eating more carrots as there are many health benefits, not to mention the fact that the bright vegetable tastes delightfully earthy and refreshing. The recipe comes complete with instructions on making a sweet and sour dressing that pairs incredibly well with the carrots, so you really can't go wrong here.
Recipe developer Catherine Brookes is the brains behind this colorful salad that is just as tasty as it is beautiful. "I love the crunch and color of this healthy salad! It's packed with goodness, and the sweet and zingy dressing pairs perfectly with the sweetness of carrots," Brookes raves. "Carrots are an amazing source of nutrients such as vitamin A and beta carotene. They also taste delicious!" A salad that tastes good and provides an abundance of nutrients? We consider that a win-win.
