The idea of adding nuts to the salad is great, but we found the salad too dry. It could be a function of the fact our carrots were pretty old. Howe'ver, next time well add more liquid to it somehow.

I liked this; my friend who isn't big on carrots called it too carrot-y and my friend who likes them liked that it was really carrot-y. it takes forever to grate carrots, by the way-- it took me about 30 minutes. I left out the garlic and made a sauce of lemon juice, maple syrup, and water so that it wouldn't be dry, and it was nice and moist, and sweet and sour. (I just mixed the juice of 1 lemon and a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup with a little water over the stove.)
