Carrot salad



Winters and long reddish carrots. 

There is a beautiful relationship between winters and food. 

White thin long radish, fresh tindas, gooseberries, green peas, strawberries and fresh palak. 

I had a bunch of those lovely looking juicy carrots, tried salads today with two of them.

1 tsp coconut oil

1/2 tsp mustard seeds
