Fresh Ginger Carrot Salad image

I created this salad as an alternative to the mayonnaise, raisin and carrot salad my mom used to make. I had some leftover ginger and really liked the fresh taste. I have a sweet tooth, and this salad satisfies it! -Lauri Cherian, Scott Depot, West Virginia

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed this salad. The ginger dressing is amazing.

I had some trouble finding fresh ginger. I ended up using ground ginger instead, and the salad still turned out well.

I found that the salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey, or adding a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe. I used honey instead of sugar and added a bit of chopped cilantro. The salad was still delicious, but I think I prefer the original recipe.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I had a few carrots that were starting to go bad, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad. I'm not usually a fan of ginger, but it was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

This fresh ginger carrot salad is a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors. The ginger adds a subtle heat that complements the natural sweetness of the carrots. The dressing is light and refreshing, with a hint of citrus.
