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

JAPANESE PICKLED DAIKON AND CARROT SALAD
Crunchy and fresh, with a delightful flavor, this is a nice side to go with some of your other salads, vegetables, and chutneys. Not really a salad in the Western culinary sense, but more of a condiment, like seaweed salad. Prep time does not include refrigeration time. :)
