Made this delicious salad tonight -- loved the combination of flavors. Carrots are my favorite vegetable so it's nice to have another delicious recipe to add to my collection. I halved the recipe and it still made plenty.

This was a refreshing tasty salad! I love carrots and I always have some on hand as I know that I can make delicious dishes with them. Oranges are a wonderful ingredient to be combined with carrots and the flavor of the spices really melted well with the other ingredients. Thanks a lot for posting this recipe.

This is a great carrot salad and carrot salad's are one of my favorite things so YAY! It's Feb in the frozen North so I had to use dried mint but am looking forward to the arrival of warmer weather so that I'll be able to get fresh mint again. My single adjustment was to use Splenda in place of the honey because I'm diabetic. Thanks much BK for sharing. :D
