Ingredients
- Two 10-ounce bags shredded carrots, available from the produce department

- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (available in the spice aisle)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 oranges, juiced
- 1/2 cup (2 handfuls) light brown sugar

Reviews
This is good as it is, but it elevates to great with the addition of jicama! I started with a small amount, but now, I’m using equal parts carrot and jicama. I like to dice the jicama small to contrast with the shredded carrots.
I love the sweet to the
Made this for a potluck and it was a hit. I used juice oranges, so had fair amount of juice. As 1 reviewer suggested, I used only 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds and it was perfect. This is a keeper!
In my opinion it tasted more like a poppy seed salad then a carrot one-2tablespoons is too much-I decided to make it again using 1/2 tbls
I like the classic carrot salad but found this to be a good alternative. Served it with an Indian dinner of marinated grilled chicken, lentil dal, Basmati rice, and tomato chutney. Wasn’t the star of the show but a great character actor. I did take an earlier suggestion and grated in some fresh ginger root.
very tasty and I too added ginger quick and easy
all loved it!…..i also added a dash of ginger and cinnamon…..
Sounds great and easy!
And jennylola, WOW!!! Did you realize that some people just aren’t great cooks, or just learning, or conversely, a total klutz around sharp utensils [like my daughter who cannot grate or cut ANYthing without cutting herself severely]??? Sometimes it’s just better not … ahhhh, never mind. :-} God bless!
Very easy to make and is a great alternative to the more fattening mayo ones.
A refreshing new way for carrot raisin salad!! Some of the family is not too keen on mayo or salad dressing type dressings for this salad……but this is definitely a keeper for sure!!
