Ingredients
-
1/4 cup dried cranberries, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes to plump
10 ounce package shredded carrots (about 4 cups)
2 navel oranges, zested, peeled and fruit segments removed (watch a video to learn how)
2 teaspoons ginger, grated
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
NOTE: use jarred ginger to save time
Tips
If desired, sprinkle on two tablespoons chopped nuts.
Directions
Instead of adding a sugary dressing, I chose sweet oranges for the base and a garnish of dried cranberries. This salad is better if prepared early in the morning or the night before. As it sits, the carrots soak up the dressing and added ginger. It gives the kids something to help with for Thanksgiving dinner.
