carrot salad

[Guest guest]

Yesterday a friend treated me to lunch at a vegetarian cafe. I had the

most interesting carrot/raisin salad....it had walnuts and garlic in it,

but I don't know what else.

 

I was trying to quiz the cafe owner; she only smiled and said there are

walnuts and garlic among other things.

 

There was little juice, as far as dressings go. It was more dry. There

was no white color to indicate yogurt or mayo. I cannot describe the

taste at all. It also was not sweet, but it was not bitter either.

 

I have searched all my cookbooks, cannot find anything close. I would

love to try to create this at home, I'm getting tired of the mayonnaise

routine.

 

Does anyone have any recipe like this or have a different carrot salad

dressing idea?
