Egg Carrot Salad
Hi Everyone, it’s egg salad season! This Egg Carrot Salad is my new favorite egg salad. It has 12 hard-boiled eggs, so it’s a great way to use up eggs and Springtime is when those hens are laying plentifully.
Our family loves carrots and we always have a big, 5-pound bag of carrots on hand in the refrigerator – this recipe uses 1 cup of shredded carrot. Also, if you juice, you can use the leftover carrot pulp too.
