Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Citrus Carrot Salad.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients and a microwave-safe bowl. In the bowl, combine the shredded carrots and raisins, creating a colorful base for your salad. Next, drizzle in the lemon juice and lime juice, adding a refreshing citrus twist. Sprinkle the white sugar over the mixture to balance the flavors beautifully. Using a fork, gently mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the carrots and raisins are evenly coated with the juices and sugar. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate to keep the moisture in. Now, pop the bowl into the microwave and heat it on low for about 30 seconds. This quick warming will enhance the flavors and soften the carrots just a bit. Once done, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave—watch out, it might be hot! Transfer your vibrant salad to a glass bowl for a lovely presentation. Finally, sprinkle the miniature marshmallows on top, adding a delightful touch of sweetness and a fun texture. Your Zesty Citrus Carrot Salad is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it as a refreshing side dish or a light snack, and watch it disappear at your next gathering.
