Yum...were these good Lazy. It never fails to amaze me how a few ingredients can make something so tasty. The carrots were tender and sweet and the dressing was perfect. Loved the zing from the stone ground coarse dijon mustard that I used...Thank you for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again and again. Made FYC Tag Game 2015.

Wonderful! I also used less butter than called for; a little less sugar, too. Thanks - made for your Football win, 2014

I am suprised at the flavor of this dish! I only had a tiny bit over 2 tbls of butter, but it still worked out. Sprinkled black and white sesame seeds on top for color.

Bugs would be in heaven if someone dropped these little gems off at his door,because I sure was.Thanx for a really good recipe.I think I might try this dressing on brussel sprouts too.I agree with Redsie about more mustard because you can't go wrong with mustard.Thanx
