French Carrot Salad (Carottes Rapées)
I loved the salad I had at a casual French restaurant the other day, and I thought that I wanted to eat it at home too! So I uploaded this recipe. It was so delicious that I ate almost a whole plateful by myself.
I've been generous with the vinegar, so please use less vinegar, more olive oil and so on and adjust the flavor to your taste.
This tastes better if you shred the carrot very finely! Apparently this is also served often with raisins and almonds or other nuts. For 2 servings. Recipe by milestone

I love carottes rapées sandwiches. The key to the mild flavor is the generous amount of walnuts.The carrot will be seasoned when you massage it with the salt. If you think it needs more salt, adjust the amount at the very end.The vitamin A in carrots has numerous health benefits. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by pogue -

Hello!!! Did everyone have a good weekend? I hope so and I do hope that all is well…We had a very nice weekend it was the first one that we went out in a long long long time, we went and visited some friends who have moved to Germany from Greece. Our friend actually is a base player in a group and they were having a live concert on Saturday night so this gave us the opportunity to hear him live again!! I think its been 10 years since the last time I have been to a live concert. Germany had wonderful weather this weekend, Saturday night was just lovely, warm, stars were out, people dancing, and having a great time. 🙂Sunday we were invited over to some other friends house for lunch, the food was delicious BBQ, 🙂 we got a chance to catch up on everything and well we just had a lovely time. 😉 Just a small shout out thanking Katerina and hubby so much for inviting us to their home and their wonderful hospitality. (Before I forget Charlie had a great time too!!!) 🙂Since food was way to much this weekend, today’s lunch is light and salad is the only option. I ate Carrot Salad for the first time at my mother-in-laws :)…I remember that she placed it on the table and I made some sort of facial expression because she caught it hahahahahahah…and she remarked..:) Don’t get me wrong I love my mother-in-law, I have been very lucky she is like a second mom to me, anyway because I love salad I was absolutely going to try it, and have been making it myself since then. 🙂

Have you ever bought a bag of carrots at Costco? So many carrots, so few ideas. My grandson said "let's cook Pappaw!" He's only 3 years old and I wanted him to have a good cooking experience that was easy enough for him to do. I looked in the fridge and saw this humongous bag of carrots. So, we got the food processor out and started to work. He loved it. It was easy, tasty, and a great experience for a 3 year old. When finished he said "Pappaw, I mixed it all by myself!" A Kodak moment for sure.
