Tropical Carrot Salad

This is my take on a Mr. Natural's favorite.


Salad:
2 cups grated carrots (the fresher the better)
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups whole cashews
1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits (drained)

Dressing:
reserved juice from pineapple tidbits
1 T vanilla
2 t agave nectar

Stir thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients. Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve in ice cream dish-- this is dessert!!

Pick up this week

This week:

5 quarts mustard greens

5 quarts red leaf lettuce

1 head butterhead lettuce

1 head napa cabbage

5 quarts carrots

5 quarts beets

1 head escarole

8 leaves rainbow chard

10 garlic scapes

1 sunburst squash

1 zucchini

10 scallions

I couldn't resist the curly zucchini and had to take it home.

The shape of the garlic scapes is also amusing to me.
