Carrot and Pecan Salad

easy recipe 30min recipe servings 4 Read the post on the blog

This is one of those minimum work/maximum compliments dishes. If you managed to buy grated carrots, chives and caramelized pecans - you did almost all the work. I made this recipe so many times and people always want the recipe.
Like so many easy & great dishes I got it from my mother in-low. It was a regular at her place, and now it become a regular at my mother's place and of course - in mine. Make it once and you will see why.
