and fresh tasting. It was originally a simple salad of carrots, raisins and mayonnaise with sugar added. I added cranberries, celery and toasted walnuts to give it color, vitamins, and crunch. I lightened up the dressing by adding yogurt, and jazzed it up with honey and cinnamon.
It’s easy to make, requires no special skills or equipment, and the ingredients are easy to find. I hope that you all like it as much as I do.
