Spicy Carrot Salad

Ok- so I will be starting to add yummy healthy recipes to my blog for your enjoyment. Here is my Spicy Carrot Salad. Making your diet 80% vegetable is a sure way of keeping your body in an alkaline state which leads to great health and vitality.  I have a tons of recipes to share that are simple and packed with nutrients and oh yes -so delicious! This one is great hot or cold but I like it best cold especially in the summer. Super easy like all my recipes only requires minimal preparation time with lots of flavor. Always choose organic if you have the option. If you are limited by where you live, wash everything thoroughly.

2 lbs organic regular or rainbow carrots for more color (picture shows regular)
2 organic leeks
2-3 knuckles of organic ginger depending on hot "hot" you want it
1-2 tbsp red palm oil or coconut oil - start with 1 and then add if needed after you add the carrots
Himalayan sea salt

Peel carrots and shred in a food processor
Removed woody part of leek and chop the rest
Peel ginger and throw in food processor with carrot

Heat 1 tbsp red palm oil on medium to high heat and add leeks, lower to medium,stirring until soft.
Add carrots and ginger mixing in the oil - add more oil if carrots are sticking
Add sea salt to taste
Cover and cook for about 10 -12 minutes on medium heat and mix a few times to saturate the carrots with oil

Let cool then chill in the fridge
Enjoy!
