CLASSIC CARROT SALAD
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.

AUNT DOROTHY'S MARINATED CARROT SALAD

COOL CARROT SALAD
I enjoy this cold salad as a side dish at a summer BBQ or potluck for something a little different. Very inexpensive to make and take along. Better the longer it sits so i try to make it the night before.I am guessing at serving size as it depends on the appetites,I have doubled it before for a larger crowd.The cook time i listed does not include any overnight refrigeration.

ROASTED CARROT SALAD
Inspired by an incredibly popular salad sold in a local award winning market here in Woodstock, VT. Since they don't give out the recipe, I had to figure it out on my own. But I (and others) believe that my version is infinitely better, and I'm sure you will agree. This light, fresh and healthy salad is perfect for summer days and presents well for BBQ's, potlucks, and dinner parties alike and it is guaranteed to impress and get rave reviews every time.

- To save time, you can also buy pre-shredded carrots. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
- If you want a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- If you want a more savory salad, add a teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard or balsamic vinegar to the dressing.
- For a crunchy salad, add some chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons to the top.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
