5 stars for taste, but takes a lot of work
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The taste is DELICIOUS. The curry powder goes wonderfully with the carrots. For some reason, Alton chose to eat carrots daily... in his weightloss program, so this is a great way to get those yummy and nutritious carrots! I feel like I have bad breath after eating though! Perhaps once I see the see the show I'll find out how to make it easier, but I am finding it extremely difficult to cut up that many carrots using the vegetable peeler. I can only do about four carrots at a time until I have to stop because of my hand cramping up from trying to hang on to the carrot while it gets smaller and smaller. Then I can't use a lot of the carrot once it gets to small to "peel". Fortunately, my dog likes carrots, so I gave the leftovers to him. I do love the shape of the "carrot noodles", but I don't know how I am ever going to get a whole 2 lbs done. I have the rest of the ingredients together, and am adding some "sauce" to the carrots as I get them done. Then I eat that, and work on more carrots. I may try freezing the rest of the ingredients, mixed together, for the next time. Read more

Good, but needs some work
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I added extra salt and some apple cider vinegar, and it was very good. I don't think the pineapple adds much.

I've never been a fan of carrot slaw because most I have had tasted like carrots with sugar and raisins. This recipe has... great flavors that are well balanced. I am very impressed with this recipe and plan to make it often. Thanks Alton and Food Network for another great recipe!!Read more
