We had TONS of carrots to use up, and this fit the bill perfectly! Delicious!!!!!!!!!

I don't know. It was a nice combination of veggies and textures, but I thought the dressing needed something -- maybe a little sesame oil? A little soy perhaps? It just needed kicking up a bit.

Outstanding flavour! Had a lovely zing to it. I had to use canned green beans and I used a red hot pepper that I had in and splenda brown sugar mix , turned out wonderful. Like the other reviewer mentioned , this makes a lot for 2 , we will be enjoying it for a couple of days. Thanks for posting it , I will be making it again!

At first the smell of garlic (from the one clove.....)was overpowering. Was a bit hesitant as how this would taste. To my surprise and delight it was very, very good. The garlic mellowed and even after three days in the fridge (with just the two of us this salad lasted that long)the carrots were still crunchy and fresh. So pleased I chose to make this for the "My Three Chefs". Will certainly make it again.
