Carrot, Red Onion and Cilantro Salad

Here's a light and colorful side dish that complements everything from grilled meats to a spring stew to burgers or sandwiches. It is also a perfect, budget-friendly dish for an outdoor party buffet table or potluck as it won't lose its appeal on a warm day. For a slightly earthier flavor substitute up to half the carrots with parsnips.
