Lemon butter carots and Pepper coleslaw



Ingredients: 2 packages of baby carrots, halved lengthwise (I used regular carrots and cut it lengthwise and then I cut in half again) ¾ teaspoon of salt divided, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley (optional), 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper.

In a sauce pan put ½ teaspoon of salt, carrots and water to cover it. Let it boil over medium high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 8 min. Then drain it and transfer the carrots to a skillet and add the butter, parsley, lemon juice, pepper, and the reaming salt tossing until coated. Enjoy!  My mom really liked it. I loved it and thought that it tasted good. (Hint be careful on the lemon juice don’t go overboard unless you really like lemon juice because it will taste lemony.) The recipe is found in Paula Deen magazine March/April 2016 pg 33.

In a large bowl combine the coleslaw and the peppers together. Then, whisk together in a small bowl mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery salt.
