FRESH GINGER CARROT SALAD
I created this salad as an alternative to the mayonnaise, raisin and carrot salad my mom used to make. I had some leftover ginger and really liked the fresh taste. I have a sweet tooth, and this salad satisfies it! -Lauri Cherian, Scott Depot, West Virginia

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with a sweet flavor. Avoid large, old carrots, as they can be tough and bitter.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you create thin, even ribbons of carrot.
- Don't over-marinate the carrots: Marinating the carrots for too long can make them soft and mushy.
- Add the nuts and seeds at the end: This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is when the flavors are at their best.
Conclusion:
Carrot Ribbon Salad with Ginger, Parsley, and Dates is a refreshing, flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
