Carrot Salad

It’s been over ten days since I spoke to you all. Since that time I have turned a year older and my birthday weekend was awesome. Let’s just say that my husband knows me so well! πŸ˜‰

Anyway, when you juice carrots, do you ever wonder what to do do with all that leftover carrot pulp? Besides freezing it all for carrot cake, there is a way that you can get some immediate use out of all that carrot pulp instead of waiting for the off chance that you might make some carrot cake.

Get a 5 pound bag of organic carrots. Rinse them well, don’t peel, trust me you need the fiber.

Strain your carrot juice through a fine mesh strainer and dump the pulp in a bowl along with 1/2 a cup of relish.

Stir it up and add salt to taste. Add more mayo if necessary to increase the creaminess factor. I like my carrot salad extra creamy.

Enjoy this salad as a sandwich on wheat toast with your favorite soup or on crackers or just eat it tossed with some baby spinach. It’s that good. You will find yourself making all types of excuses to make carrot juice after tasting this.
