It's that moment again...you have A TON OF EXTRA CARROTS! Again! What will you make? Ya make a carrot salad! This Carrot Apple Walnut Salad was sweet, it was garlicky, it was a little spicy, and fruity! Those toasted walnuts, the dried cranberries, those fresh herbs, the honey citrus dressing!? It's the perfect side dish, snack, or app! Have it for the Super Bowl, have it for Easter! It's always good! Even at home on the couch at 10 am!
