This is a 1 minute side salad that I made with leftover steamed carrots. It’s so simple I can’t even call it a recipe. But I decided to post it anyway because it was tasty and I, personally, always need ideas on what to make from leftovers.
The key is the dressing. I used my traditional salad dressing but you can play around and add whatever you like. I also really like spring onions. They add an extra something to this little salad. If I had chives, I would have preferred them but oh well, spring onions work well too.

This is an example of a 1 minute salad or side dish you can put together from leftover steamed carrots (if you have a baby, you always have some leftover steamed veggies). Dress it nicely with white balsamic vinegar and olive oil and you are good to go (see dressing recipe below).
