402: Carrot and Raisins Salad

This is a great Healthiest Way of eating recipe that you can enjoy for lunch, dinner, or snack. And it's loaded with healthy Vitamin A.

The modern carrot gets its characteristic bright orange color from β-carotene, which is metabolized into vitamin A, a requirement for healthy eyesight, skin, growth, and infection resistance. Carrots are also rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and minerals. Carrots have higher natural sugar contents than most other vegetables (with the exception of beets)—for this reason, they make a wonderful snack when eaten raw.

When shopping the carrot, pick carrots that are deep orange in color and avoid ones that are crackled, shriveled, soft, or wilted.

This salad is a beautiful combination of sweet, sour and salty.
