Tangy Carrot Orange Salad
• Shredded carrots work better if you want a softer, slaw-like texture. • Add dressing right before serving to keep carrots crisp. • This salad holds well for a few hours and tastes better as it sits briefly. Health Benefits: Carrots provide beta carotene, which supports eye health and immune function. Oranges contribute vitamin C and antioxidants that support collagen production and cellular protection. Healthy fats from nuts and olive oil support satiety and help absorb fat-soluble nutrients.
