HARVEST OF THE MONTH RECIPE: YUMMY CARROT SALAD!
This easy salad is like a cross between a slaw and a pickle. It makes a nice, simple snack or side dish, but it’s also great in a sandwich or taco or on a burger. This is a versatile recipe – substitute lemon juice and zest for the lime or use vinegar. Also, you can use parsley or cilantro instead of mint.
