Sweet Carrot Salsas

Carrots in my salsa?!  Yes.  They add great color and crunch to a regular tomato salsa.  But if you want a sweet somethin' somethin' to go with your chips, carrots are a great option.  I threw this one together before our movie night, when I knew I'd have the munchies. 

Combine equal parts chopped carrots (you can grate, but I like the crunch), mango, red pepper and sweet onion.  I added about 1/4 cup of lime juice, some taco seasoning, and a tablespoon of fresh thyme. 

Improvise according to what you have.  I found other recipes with pineapple and papaya, but why stop there?  Try sweet carrot salsa variations with apples, beets, radishes or cranberries.
