I used fresh young organic carrots that were so naturally sweet that the salad was almost like dessert ant a sprinkle of cinnamon was just perfect. To trim back on sugar I only used 2 Tbsp of raisins (1/2 a cup was ask for in my 2 serving amount that I made) but I boosted the pecans some. This was a most enjoyable lunch Aunt Sana. :D -
Very yummy and not sweet like I would have thought. It was too lemony for my son, maybe I used too much lemon zest but for me and DH that's perfect. Thanks AuntSana :) Made for Cookbook tag game -
Was this supposed to have pineapple?! :) I made this especially for DH, who loves carrot~raisin salad, and HE said it was better than his mom's! You can't get a better compliment than that in my house. I did include the pecans ~ we love those in just about anything ! Thanks so much for a new hubby-pleaser AuntSana. Made for PAC FALL 2009! -
Fast, easy and delicious. This is a wonderful side dish that will become a family favorite. Reviewed for PAC, spring 2008.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
As you can see, I've been on "Zaar quite a while now, and have reviewed quite a few recipes. Just like everyone else who's been around for a while, my rating system has undergone a change.
*****Rocked my socks off. Won't change a thing!
****A good solid recipe. Enjoyed it. Might need a small change for personal preferences.
***Needs some help. Might be an operator error, but can't make it work.
As all the recipes I choose are chosen because of the ingredients that we like, I will not give less than ***. And, please, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. Someone else might think it is wonderful and give *****. So keep posting!
BTW, if I forget to thank you for taking the time to prepare one of my recipes, it is unintentional!
My biggest passion is my reading. I can't go to bed at night until I have read something, even if its the back of a bag of potato chips! But that ain't gonna happen. I have over 300 books in my bedroom book shelves, and we have even more in the rest of the house!
