Do you love carrots? If you do, you have to try this grated carrot salad by Weekend at the Cottage. It is the best! At first, I thought it would turn out bland, but I was so wrong. The flavors are bursting in each bite and the crunchiness of freshly grated carrots are fantastic. I love making this salad at home as it’s fast, delicious, and packed with nutrients.
