Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl, gently combine the shredded carrots, raisins, lemon juice, lime juice, and sugar using a fork. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl and microwave on low power for 30 seconds, just enough to slightly soften the carrots and allow the flavors to meld. (Cook time: 30 seconds)

03

Step

Transfer the salad to a chilled glass bowl to enhance the refreshing experience. Sprinkle the miniature marshmallows evenly over the top, creating a delightful visual appeal. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

For optimal flavor, allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the citrus notes to fully infuse the carrots. (Chill time: 15+ minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of orange and grapefruit juice in place of the lemon and lime juice.
Add a pinch of ground ginger or cinnamon to enhance the warmth and complexity of the salad.
If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar or substitute it with a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
Toasted slivered almonds or chopped pecans make a wonderful addition for added texture and nutty flavor.
For a vegan option, use vegan marshmallows or omit them altogether.
