Carrot slaw is great because it holds up well and doesn't get soggy–this one sounds really good! BTW love your old-timey measuring cups!

We love all kinds of slaw! I cannot wait to try this carrot version!
Mustard honey atop carrots whether raw or cooked is definitely a winning touchdown combo, Conni! P.s. I so admire your meticulous camera work and perfect pictures.
I think my mom would eat the whole bowl. It's one of her favorites and I'm going to make this for her for the next time she comes over for dinner.
Yum. I've never made carrot slaw. I'll have to try this.
