Kiddo Carrot Salad

Ok, so this is just gonna be a quick and dirty recipe guide, because you know what? That is how I like to do my cooking. Guidelines. Not rules. And I'm really sick of trying to do everything by-the-book someone else's way because I've lived my life in others' shadows struggling to fit in and please others for too damn long. I'm not making money off this anyway; it's my passion, my hobby and I will do it MY way!

So there.

Anyway, I usually make carrot coins at the preschool which are always a hit, but today I tried something new.The kids at the preschool freaking loved this.


Dilled Carrot with Squeaky Cheese

Carrots
Fresh dill (grow some, it's easy and great and the bees love it)
Garlic (optional)
Olive oil 
Apple cider vinegar
Cheese curds

I used a food processor to shred up some carrots into shreddy chunks. You could also use a grater, or other similar contraption. Chop up some dill and garlic and mix into the carrot chunks. Make a vinaigrette with oil and vinegar and salt to taste (I use 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar generally) and toss the carrots with a few TB to 1/4 cup of it, depending on how many carrots you've used. Start with 3 TB oil to 1 TB vinegar, maybe. Just taste as you go and adjust accordingly!
