Description
If you want to add a little extra crunch to your table today, try this 3-Ingredient Fresh Carrot Salad. Just mix grated carrots with chopped pickled jalapeño peppers, a drizzle of olive oil and a little cilantro. It’s vegetarian, vegan, Paleo, sugar-free, gluten-free and Whole30 compliant.

To save even more time, buy pre-shredded carrots in the produce section of your grocery store.
I really like these Hot and Sweet Jalapeño Peppers from Trader Joes. If you don’t have a Trader Joes nearby, you should be able to find something comparable at your local grocery store. Or you can order them on Amazon.
