Carrot Salad

Nutritional Info - Carrots are very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Folate, Pantothenic Acid, Iron, Potassium and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Manganese.

The latest health findings say one third of our daily food should be raw. But we do get bored by eating the same lettuce and spinach salad everyday. So I make different salads every day to make the meal interesting and this is one of the easiest salads to make.
