Carrot Salad Recipe: Russian-Korean Carrot Salad

Here is a very simple and easy carrot salad that you can throw together at the last minute and take to that potluck party. Or if you find yourself with too many people showing up for a meal and need more food, this can round out your selection. Carrots are cheap and nutritious, and even kids like them. Here is my vegan recipe for Russian-Korean Carrot Salad.

Russian-Korean Carrot Salad

6 cups grated carrots

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon rice vinegar

3 Tablespoons oil

Mix all ingredients together. Chill.

I tried grating the carrots by hand...once. My arm got so sore, I regretted it and never did it again. Instead, I opt for a food processor. Cut the carrots into pieces about 3 inches long or so, enough to fit into the feeder of your food processor.

And another tip: I never peel my carrots. I don't see why I should. I buy organic and wash them. More fiber and nutrients for those eating it; less work for me. Hey, I'm practical!

Give this vegan Russian-Korean Carrot Salad recipe a try. It's a nice addition to any meal and has a nice mix of salty, sweet, sour, and spicy and will catch people's interest.
