Three Variations on Carrot Salad : New Recipes at DrGourmet.com!

Traditional Carrot Salad

Carrot SaladI love carrot salad and this is the version I grew up with. It’s been on my to do list for some time and I am glad I finally got around to it. The great thing is that it’s so easy and quick and perfect for your picnic or potluck supper.

This recipe is gluten-free and lactose-free. It is not low in sodium, and those with GERD / Acid Reflux and those on Coumadin (warfarin) should avoid it.

Curried Carrot Salad

RaisinsCarrot salad had been on my to do list for some time and when I finally got around to it I went at it with a vengeance. I made a whole lot of varieties including this curried salad. The savory goes great with the sweet carrots and the mint adds a great freshness.

This recipe is gluten-free and lactose-free. It is not low in sodium, and those with GERD / Acid Reflux and those on Coumadin (warfarin) should avoid it.

Carrot Salad with Marjoram Vinaigrette

MarjoramI love carrot salad and I especially love this version. It’s higher in calories than the traditional version but the flavor is so fantastic. I used the best quality olive oil I have for this and this is the sort of recipe where you want all the flavor to come through.

This recipe is gluten-free and lactose-free. It is not low in sodium, and those with GERD / Acid Reflux and those on Coumadin (warfarin) should avoid it.

Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad

Brussels SproutsI love Dave Barry but I like brussels sprouts even better. Sad, I suppose, but I loved them as a kid too. If you don’t really care for them, try this technique of shredding them and steaming. They lose a lot of their bitterness and are sweet. This makes them a great base for salads. You can use almost any variation with this. Salmon or shrimp would work great. Peas or garbanzos instead of corn. Almonds instead of pine nuts. That’s the great thing about recipes. Once you have the building blocks you can tailor them to your own taste.

This recipe is low in sodium and gluten-free. Coumadin (warfarin) users, those with GERD / Acid Reflux and those who are lactose-intolerant should avoid it.
