44. apple carrot salad

crunch, crunch, crunch

  If my dedicated followers have been thinking why I have not posted any new salad recipes then its just because some of the ingredients are really difficult to get in Mombasa. The rains in Kenya have destroyed a lot of crops. The carrots available at the moment are really fresh, crunchy and sweet. Usually, carrot salad is pretty boring with just a few raisins added to it along with some sort of dressing. Carrot salad doesn’t have to be boring any more. This recipe promises to be crunchy, tangy and delectable.
