Enjoy the vibrant, sweet flavor of this inventive take on the common version of carrot and raisin salad. Almond butter combines with lime juice, tamari and agave nectar to coat the carrots, red bell pepper, cilantro and raisins. A delightfully different side for any summer outing.

2 large carrots, peeled
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup creamy almond butter
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons tamari
1 teaspoon agave nectar
Pinch of red pepper flakes

Method

Add dressing to carrot mixture and mix thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes and serve cold or at room temperature.
