Carrot Ginger Salad (Gluten, Dairy and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
Summer has been busy and I have been without a computer for awhile but glad to be back on.
Thought I would share this recipe. This is my sister's salad recipe which I convinced her to write down so I could share it.  This is a really a fresh tasting salad which can be eaten as a meal or a side dish.  In my opinion, the fresh ginger is what makes it. Yum!
