A recent trip to Georgia has reawakened my love of many things southern, most of them involving a banjo, barbecue or bakery. Now at home I’m finding it a bit difficult to let some of these go. For a couple weeks I went through what can only be termed “coleslaw withdrawal,” and it got me thinking. If I could make a simple slaw out of something other than cabbage, I might be able to get my girls to eat it. Carrots came right to mind because of their natural sweetness, and immediately I thought of the carrot & raisin salads I enjoyed as a child. So here’s my low sodium version. My daughters loved being able to use the food processor yet again and whipped this one up in a jiffy. A cool, healthy and refreshing salad with plenty of natural sweetness to satisfy the kid in us all.
