Mackey’s Carrot Salad

 

I make this with yellow carrots plucked from my garden. It’s an easy and impressive side for any meal. Assemble your ingredients a day ahead and let the flavors marinate overnight. This tasty dish gets better with age!

 

1 pound carrots, shredded

1 medium apple, shredded

½ cup raisins

¼ cup cranberries

½ cup toasted pecans

¼ cup toasted sunflower seeds

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

¼ cup plain yogurt

¼ cup mayonnaise

½ teaspoon turmeric

Dash of cinnamon

Salt to taste

 

Toss and serve. (Yes, it’s really that easy!)
