Spiced Carrot Salad with Pumpkin Seeds

Are you that annoying person in class munching on carrots? Crunch, crunching away while the prof is lecturing.Chopping your jaw down on those orange nubbins? Crunch crunch crunch.... crunch... Please just stop, I can't hear what the prof is saying...I can hear inbetween crunches.... I can't hear my friend next to me.... I can't even hear my own thoughts!!!!!!! CRUNCH CRUNCH.

Not you? Okay... that is totally me. I admit I am a carrot munch cruncher. BUT I know I am not alone.


But need a break from your crunching? Make a carrot salad instead where the crunch factor is cut down to minimum.

  1. This looks great! I am definitely there with you as a carrot muncher, although I shamefully admit I bring my carrots with me to the library...probably even more annoying haha.

  3. You're hilarious. I annoy my b/f SO much with my carrot eating. He will like this version much better for his ear's sake :-)

    I make carrot muffins with pumpkin seeds on top so I know I would love this combo!
