Carrot Salad: How To Make The Best Carrot Salad Recipe

Laura Villanueva
The simplicity of this raw vegan carrot salad recipe is one of the reasons I eat this a few times a week for hormone balance. Not only does the high fiber content help balance hormones, especially if you suffer from estrogen dominance, but it tastes delicious too. This carrot salad can be made with julienned, grated, or even shredded carrots and beets. Either way, you prepare this healthy carrot salad, which results in the same fantastic flavor and health benefits for hormone balance.
