Frequently Asked QuestionsYou’ve probably heard the adage that carrots are good for your eyes—and they are. This is thanks mostly to the beta carotene that also gives carrots their beautiful orange hue. Carrots are also associated witha host of other health benefits, including reducing inflammation and supporting heart, brain and skin health.As is, this recipe is not vegan due to the honey. If you wish to make it vegan, you can replace the honey with an equal amount ofagave.Place the carrot salad in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator, where it should keep for about three to four days. However, we think it’s best to eat it sooner rather than later, as the salad can get watery the longer it sits in the fridge.There is no need to peel the carrots, but you should give them a really good scrub. In addition to cutting down on prep time, keeping the skin on also means more nutrients.Absolutely, but keep in mind that you will be using less of the dried herb (only one-third the amount of the fresh).

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
