Feel free to add in dried fruit, like raisins or currants, if desired.
This pairs so well with most dinners! A little grilled chicken, or any protein. A sandwich, and even soup are happier with a side of shredded carrot salad. I've even thrown a big spoonful into a green salad and tossed it all together. Delish!
