SWEET CARROT SALAD

This salad is sweet and simple - great for a BBQ or a pot luck and best when left to sit for an hour to let flavors meld.

PINEAPPLE & COCONUT CARROT SALAD

I enjoyed a salad like this at a tropical-inspired restaurant. I tried to get the staff to give me the recipe but had no luck. So I went home and created my own! I will sometimes drain a can of mandarin orange slices and toss those in as well. -Shirley Turpin, Williams, Minnesota

COCONUT CARROT SALAD

"Why eat a plain carrot when this super salad is such a snap to make?" asks Evelyn Schwartz (at right) from Quincy, Illinois. "The coconut makes this salad taste like a tropical treat. It keeps meals interesting to fix something special for yourself once in a while."
