Potluck Carrot Salad

ellie_'s Note:

This salad is a snap to make and is a great way to serve carrots which children and adults both enjoy. I like making it ahead of time and bringing it to potlucks or picnics. Recipe Source: Bon Appetit (April 1983)

My husband and I enjoyed this salad, but the kids did not. I believe it was just a bit to vinegary for them.:)

Oh my--this was GREAT! I love the idea of a salad with cooked carrots instead of raw. I'll have to start keeping raspberry vinegar on hand on a regular basis.

This salad is very tasty! I agree with Geema that the dressing really permeated the carrots. Yum. The only raspberry vinegar I could find was raspberry infused balsamic vinegar, so I used that and it turned out great.
