Cucumber & Carrot Salad

Hey, Whiskers!
Long time no speak! Sorry about that I am taking the equivalent of the SATs in Israel next week, so I've been quite busy studying over the past few months. On top of that Passover is coming, so my family is doing spring cleaning and calling it Passover cleaning. This is a great recipe for summertime as its simple, and the textures harmonize with the balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. Its a fast simple delicious burst of summer. Keep whisking up love and happiness to those around you.
Till next time
Sam
