Did you know.
Carrot came from Afganistan and original carrot was purple. Orange carrots came later.
I love this easy salad because of how it looks like. Beautiful colors. Fresh vegetables are crunchy and crispy and using stripes make this simpler to eat.
Definitely you can add more different vegetables and combine with dressing and flavours.

I did not know this about carrots about the colour. Well, I will try purple carrots. Even I have seen white ones but carrot not parsnip.

Yes well I saw them at a farmer’s market and I asked was it a parsnip and was told no it was a carrot. I think there was not much taste compared to coloured ones!
