Carrot and Golden Raisin (Sultana) Salad

JustJanS's Note:

I came up with this as a side for a fish curry we ate last night. I have a hand held tool that shreds carrots in long strips. You could just grate the carrot if you don't have the same. I'm in a remote area so used dried mint, feel free to use fresh as I would if I could get it!

Easy, tasty and no oil is a bonus. We really enjoyed this salad tonight- made exactly as written. Use a Borner hand rosti shredder to grate the carrots and actually found some golden raisins to add (really they looked like overgrown sultanas). I used fresh mint too. Served with some skinless, boneless chicken breast pieces that I sprinkled with ground cumin before pan-cooking. Photo also to be posted

Did make this with 5 medium carrots since I think the smaller ones have better flavor, & I also seasoned the dressing with lemon pepper rather than the usual S&P! Other than that . . . Really enjoyed the golden raisins & the nuts here & found the dressing very tasty! Certainly a salad I'll be happy to make again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
