Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 6 carrots
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup vanilla Greek Yogurt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- Dash of Salt
- Pinch of pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the pecans in a shallow baking pan and toast in the preheated oven until slightly darkened (about 7-10 minutes). Watch carefully to make sure the pecans don't overcook -- they toast quickly.
- While the pecans are toasting, peel and grate the carrots.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, yogurt, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine thoroughly.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- Walnuts can be substituted for the pecans if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored for up to one day in the refrigerator. The carrots lose their crunchy texture if stored too long.
