Clean Eating Sweet Carrot & Raisin Salad

Sometimes, a side dish is just as important as the main course. Sometimes, a side dish compliments a meal in such a way that the entire ensemble comes together in symphony.

That’s what happened the night I served this salad with a chicken dish I was creating for my upcoming cookbook. The cinnamon and ginger truly sings in this sweet and slightly peppery side salad. Mini Chef didn’t care for the peppery ginger, so I don’t recommend this for kids unless you’re willing to leave the ginger out. But for more mature palates, this is a wonderful combination of strong flavors and sweetness.
