Ingredients

• 5 medium carrot
• 2 medium orange
• 1/4 cup oil, avocado
• 1/2 cup yogurt, plain
• 1 tablespoon vinegar, white wine
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions

• The dressing ingredients can go right into a pint mason jar with a lid to shake it up – dressing done!
• Put the julienne peeled carrots into a medium mixing bowl, pour about half the dressing, and combine. Depending on your taste, you can add more dressing.
• If you want the carrots to have a much softer texture for littler ones chewing, you can “sweat” the julienned carrots in a colander with few pinches of sea salt. The salt draws out moisture in the carrots and makes them have a softer texture. After they sweat about 20 minutes you can toss the carrots with the dressing.
