My children adore a salad made with fresh sweet carrots, cucumbers, and garbanzo beans! The apple cider vinaigrette is one of their favorite salad dressings. They also like it tossed with thinly sliced napa cabbage and peeled mandarins—another easy side dish for a family meal. We also use this dressing for making impromptu grain and bean salads. For example, combining cooked quinoa, white beans, parsley, and green onions with this dressing creates a delicious, nutritious quick lunch!
