Marinated Carrots
Eat 1 cup of cooked carrots and get 31,000 IU of carotene. The rabbits are right. Also lots of potassium and soluble fiber.
1 pound fresh carrots
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon vinegar
pinch of dry mustard
1-2 tablespoons fresh mint, minced
1 tablespoon dill, minced
1 teaspoon capers, rinsed and diced
Scrub the carrots and scrape or peel them as desired. Slice on an angle for best flavor. Place in ceramic or glass dish with a lid. Microwave on high for 4 minutes, or until carrots are tender but not mushy. In meantime, combine remaining ingredients and toss over the cooked carrots. Serve warm, or these are really good chilled!
