I loved the flavor combination in this recipe! I am not usually a fan of typical carrot salad made with mayo. This version with an EVOO-based dressing was soooo much better, and the hazelnuts and raisins (or currants and sweetness and a yummy toasted flavor in the background. I played with the amounts a little bit...added a bit more EVOO and mustard, but overall, this recipe is a keeper as is. Thanks, Rachael! :o

We bought a huge bag of carrots at Costco and were running out of things to do with them. This recipe was very tasty. My 2 small children ate it no problem. It was definitely something we have never had before, a good recipe to add to the repertoire.

It was pretty good, but we all agreed it seemed to need some additions and ommissions to make really good. I'll need to play with it if I make it again.
