This is great for Easter, but we love it anytime! My kids love making and eating 'Bunny Salad', and they have no idea they are voluntarily ingesting veggies. =)

I use green apple and I soak the raisins in hot juice and drain well before adding to the salad. This is also good with sour cream with a little vanilla flavoring stirred in. My kids like this as a breakfast salad I like it wrapped in leftover ham. Read More

I made this for my 3-year old for lunch today and she said it was too "spicy" so yup the cinnamon's a bit over-kill. Otherwise I followed the recipe w/ the exception of using 1 c. of thinly-sliced baby carrots toasting the walnuts and only using 1 apple. It's a great recipe (and we love the name "Bunny Salad") so we'll definitely make it again but decrease the cinnamon and maybe sub plain or Greek yogurt for vanilla and up the celery to more than 1 stalk.

We loved this recipe! Based on other reviews I added less cinnamon and used craisins instead of raisins. It was a hit at Thanksgiving this year. Read More

I used less than 1/2 the cinnamon and didn't care for the flavor in this combination. I would leave the cinnamon out and maybe add some pineapple tidbits. Read More

I didn't have time to grate so I thinly sliced the baby carrots. I also added some sunflower seeds on top. This is a good salad. I'll find out tomorrow if my kids like it. Read More

It was a hit at Easter dinner! I mixed the juice yogurt and just a couple shakes of cinnamon together and it came out yummy. I bought already shredded carrots (1- 10 oz bag) so it was quick and easy to put together. I used Gala apples for a little bite toasted the walnuts and omitted the celery. We will be making this again for sure. Read More
