A friend of mine gave me this is an unusual recipe for carrot salad. I think it's particularly good with grilled meats. But it's nice change of pace at any time and the last time I took it to a pot luck it disappeared before I even got a helping. You might want to use a sweet onion such as Walla Walla or Vidalia or even a red onion. (Larger image.) Serves 2.
