Salads

This quick and easy meal is both beautiful and delicious thanks to the addition of vibrantly hued rainbow carrots. Don’t despair if you can’t find them locally, however. Regular orange carrots will provide a nice pop of color, as well.

Tip: For best results, choose large, straight carrots for this application instead of smaller and/or twisted specimens. This will make it much easier to peel and slice them into nice ribbons with a vegetable peeler.
