I really liked this version of carrot salad. I did all the ingredients to taste rather than measure. It was my first time using mustard seeds, oh I used regular ones I think, not black. I used sea salt, canola oil to be soy free, freshly squeezed lemon juice, & Sunmaid Thompson raisins per preference. Served with an Indian meal.
