GAJJARA KOSAMBARI (CARROT SALAD)



Gajjara Kosambari (Carrot Salad) image

There are countless variations of this style of salad from Karnataka, but my favorite is a simple version made with crunchy raw carrots, dressed with a little tempered fat, coconut, citrus and chopped herbs. If fresh coconut isn't available, keep a bag of frozen grated coconut in the freezer. It's easy to find at most Indian grocery stores and, when you have it on hand, you can bring this salad together in less than five minutes.

RAISIN, RICE AND CARROT SALAD



Raisin, Rice and Carrot Salad image

A light, refreshing salad from the California Raisin website; definintely a make-ahead recipe as it gets better on day 2 and 3. I think it would be grand made with wheatberries and served as a main course! NOTE: I made this using low fat mayo and fat free buttermilk and my dressing was too thin, so I had to add an extra tbsp of mayo to thicken it up. And next time, I will add some apple cut into small matchsticks.
