It is a salad consisting of primary carrots which are either shredded very fine or into ribbons which I prefer. It is then best marinaded the day prior in a carrot dressing for maximum flavor.

HOW TO MAKE CARROT SALAD

• Start by making the carrot salad dressing then set aside
• Next is making the salad. First shred the outer skin off the carrots and discard.
• Then with a peeler of your choosing, peel the carrots by holding the tops first and shredding downward. Place all the carrots ribbons in a large bowl and once shredded.
• Rince them off and place back into the large bowl.
• Pour over the carrots salad dressing and toss well to combine
• Chill which will allow for better marination of the carrots salad before serving!
