Carrot salad

As a kid I loved carrots and my mother used to give it to us saying it's good for our eyes and skin. And I remember her making this easy salad. Many houses in Sri Lanka makes this carrot salad and they put grated coconut in it. I haven’t used coconut in my salad.  

In my house my hubby and father in law are not lovers of vegetables. Often, we need to find ways to give them vegetables. My father in law will eats vegetables in sambar. 😉 or in meat.   

When I made this salad, they were surprised to know that u can make salad with carrot. My kids love it too. At first my hubby made a fuss over it saying ‘what’s this?’ now when I make it guess who eats the most of it 😉 Its fresh and crunchy.  

      You will need  

• 2 carrots peeled 
• 1 medium sized onion chopped into small 
• 1 green chili chopped very small  
• ¼ tsp of pepper powder 
• ¼ tsp of lemon juice  
• Salt to taste 
• 1 small tomato chopped  

• 
  
• 1. Grate the carrots and add the onions, green chili and tomatoes and mix it well. 

2. 2. Now add the salt, pepper powder, lemon juice and mix everything together. 

You can adjust the salt and pepper taste according to your taste buds. It's that simple. It will hardly take 10 minutes. You also can add grated coconut into this. I haven't added because I want my kids to enjoy the salad too. Hope you enjoy it.
