Rainbow Carrot Ribbon Salad

How many beautiful salads am I going to post this Summer? So many salads! As you can see I love a good salad. I can eat them forever and ever. Another thing I like about these salads, they are so easy to make. This is a raw rainbow carrot salad with lightly toasted almonds for extra crunch, Parmesan cheese, and a simple vinaigrette. Summer is meant for simple, beautiful food without being stuck in the kitchen all day. This beauty took me 10 minutes to put together. And the thing is, we all almost always have carrots in the fridge right?

Using all orange carrots is just as awesome, so no need to run to the store for rainbow carrots, I just thought they were pretty when I was at the market. Do you love carrots? Have you made a carrot salad?
