Carrot Salad
Carrot Salad makes a refreshing change from your typical potato and macaroni salads.
Experiment with different add-ins and you will get a new flavor every time. Simple and quick, it’s a great treat to serve with speedy sandwiches.
Remember to check at your grocery and buy the pre-packaged shredded carrots. Buying them makes this salad a hundred times easier to put together.
Carrot Salad
serves 4 / prep. time: 5-10 minutes
1 (8oz.) package of shredded carrots
3/4 c. raisins
3 T. mayonnaise
3 T. marzetti slaw dressing
1 t. sugar
1/2 t. salt

ideas for add-ins:

As I’m sure you can figure out, simply toss all of the ingredients together and (if time allows) refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Hubby and I had dinner out last night and tried something called Gerschnitzlets. Quite Delicious. May have to try making it myself. Stay Tuned…
