carrot salad
Looking for a summertime ‘glow’? Swap sunbathing and overexpoure to UV rays for… carrots! Believe it or not, bulking up on orange hued veggies has been linked to a naturally glowing complexion. And if thats not enough, the beta-carotene in carrots aid to tighten and tone tissues to keep you looking forever young.
Carrots are one of my ‘Beauty Foods’ that I will dish on at tomorrow’s ‘Beauty Food’ cooking class as well as on an upcoming segment on the NBC5 Morning Show (details to come!).
This carrot salad will not only make you gorgeous, but it’s tasty to boot! It is a great addition to a summer barbeque or picnic and can be made well ahead of time.
Eat yourself pretty!
