This was really good! It was a bit sour for my taste, but my husband and I both thought it was a great way to eat carrots (and my 3-year old loved it too). I added 2 T of canola mayo and a bit more salt, plus I added almonds and brown raisins instead of golden raisins and walnuts. I didn't have any parsley, so I just skipped that. Thanks for posting!
