Sweet n sour carrot salad

                 Salads are essential for a healthy and balanced diet & when we think of salads many people imagine raw vegetables in their plate which are too bland to swallow down the throat but, salads can also be made appetizing by including ingredients that will spark up your taste buds leaving them wanting for more. This sweet n sour carrot salad is one of them & is super easy to make.

                  In this recipe I've paired carrots with red bell pepper and diced onion. I also added a few fried cashew nuts which I had in my pantry you can use the raw ones or also replace them with roasted peanuts. The sweet n sour dressing is what adds up to the taste of the dish.
