And we're back to our regularly scheduled programming. Did you have a good weekend? I certainly did. In fact, it may have been a little too good. The Adele show was so much fun, but I was really hurting yesterday. For the better part of the day, all I consumed was pizza and part of a cupcake so when I got home, I was looking for something slightly healthier. Luckily, I had just dug out my copy of Forever Summer that I like to scroll through every once in a while. This salad takes two seconds to make and it was exactly what I needed to end the day on a slightly more virtuous note than how it started. Unfortunately it's not the prettiest thing to look at, but I am not beating myself up over that. I love carrots, especially the organic variety from McGrath Family Farm. They are my go-to snack during the work week. The flavors work so well together. The natural sweetness of the carrots plays off the tartness from the vinegar and the peanuts and sesame oil add a nice nuttiness. I definitely see this salad being added to my regular meal rotation.

oh that looks absolutely delicious! i love the bright color of carrots!
This sounds good to me. I would want to add some chopped apple to it as well- I think it'd add a nice sweet edge. Glad you had fun girly :)
Very interesting combination! I like the look of your soba/carrot salad too!
Your salad look great! Sounds crunchy and delicious too, and I'm on a salad kick right now.
Your salad falls into the simply delicious category. It wonderful when something so good can be put together with so little effort.
I love the flavors you've got going on here. I eat carrots practically everyday with my lunch so this is right up my alley. Might need to shake things up soon! :)

I LOVE Adele! Also, I love carrot salads, although I only just made my first one yesterday. I've never had one with peanuts, but I think it might just be brilliant.
I keep looking at that salad but I have never made it. Definitely one to try!
