Carrots can taste pretty boring if you don’t add some flavor to them. Believe it or not, if you didn’t like carrots before, you’ll like’em now! Want to take an added risk? Throw in some BEETS! They’ll add some color and taste even better than the carrots. No joke. People who say they hate beets love them grated in salads!
$$ Money saving tip: You can use green onions/scallions or even some finely grated white or yellow onion instead of chives, for extra flavor.
