Now that warm weather is here (finally!), I’m working on making summer items like homemade sunscreen and bug spray.  I’ve also been working on some new veggie-based recipes that can be served cold so I don’t have to cook as much.

Our local farmer had some gorgeous carrots a few weeks ago and I was looking for a way to use them besides my go-to Tarragon Maple Glazed Carrots recipe. I thought of my spiral slicer that we use to make many types of vegetable noodles and realized that carrots would be perfect for this as well.

Carrot “noodles” have a great crunch and texture, especially when paired with chopped nuts and citrus. I took some inspiration from my Thrive Market box that had recently come in the mail and added some sesame seeds, dates, walnuts, and cashews and the finished product was awesome.

This light and fresh (and simple) side salad is now on my meal plan rotation for summer, and you should give it a try too. You can use a spiral slicer or a vegetable peeler (it takes a little longer). I let my older kids help with the peeling (I don’t let them use the spiral slicer yet) and they enjoyed helping with this recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 carrots peeled
  • ¼ tsp  ground ginger
  • 1 medjool date chopped

  • 1 TBSP walnuts chopped
  • 1 TBSP  cashews
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of 1 small lemon

    Would raisins work just as well? I’m not a huge fan of dates.

      Sounds like it would be good… My mom used to make a salad with raisins and carrots, so I know it tastes good 🙂
