Jack, re. the Carrot, Peanut & Raisin Salad with Cumin Dressing

[Guest guest]

Last year I asked in the Vegetarian_Group if anyone had a carrot

salad with peanuts/peanut butter; a vegetarian restaurant I'd been

to served one. Someone shared this recipe.

 

I finally made it for us recently and it is delicious, definitely a

keeper. I don't care for cumin and I didn't have any but I did use a

very small sprinkling of taco seasoning since it had cumin in it. I

also blended some peanut butter into the dressing, not much.

 

This isn't like the restaurants but better. We really enjoyed it.

Donna said you are the one who original posted this recipe, so thank

you, Jack.
