CREATIVE SHARE: Carrot LOVE

Just in the Knick of Time, 

before I pass out from complete exhaustion

I must share something sooo delish with you!

Okay let me start this off my saying I

 HATE

HATE

HATE 

Mayonnaise

BUT, I do make one exception, and ONLY one when it comes to Mayo.

I love love LOVE

 Carrot and Raisin Salad!

HOWEVER, today I had a slightly bad experience with it.

My mom and I had a nice lunch today, at a little country restaurant.

We both had Veggie plates. 

The food was really great, and I was SUPER excited to see that they had Carrot and Raisin Salad!

So I ordered it, 

Ate all of my other food, saving the BEST for last, only to find out that its not such the best.

I took a bite, and I could taste the MAYONNAISE, and only the Mayonnaise.

I was SO disappointed.

So HERE 

for you dear friends is a GOOD 

Mayo-Free recipe.

Ingredients:

1 Pound Carrots

Coarse Salt and Black Pepper

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
