CURRIED CARROT SALAD

This savory side takes the classic French grated carrot salad and adds depth of flavor, with capers, red onions, curry powder and cumin. It keeps well, so make a large batch and keep it in the refrigerator for several not-sad desk lunches.

CLASSIC CARROT SALAD



Classic Carrot Salad image

Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.
