It's confirmed - this salad IS as good as it looks. Chef Christian grills up some Grimmway Farms Carrots and makes them the star of the show with this bright, light and super delicious salad. "Salads can have lots of ingredients or just a few; this one is a colorful texture bomb that is worth the time. Make the dressing the day before and add or subtract salad toppings as you wish - you're going to love this salad any time of year."
