Carrot and Strawberry Salad With Fresh Cilantro

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"As I was drifting off to sleep the other night, the idea splashed across my mind of carrot salad with strawberries (and not the more usual raisins or pineapple). The next day on the website morgantownfarmers.org I found this recipe and modified it slightly."
