This shredded carrot salad is a favorite among families in Denmark. It is easy to make, and is often eaten together with a typical Danish dish; meatballs in curry sauce with rice. I have added some finely grated ginger to my shredded carrot salad and given some suggestions for toppings.
The cinnamon flavored rye flakes are my favorite. I always make a large batch, so I can put it on my salad as here or even my morning yoghurt.
