Traci's Notes:
Sweet alert!!!

I got this recipe several years ago from a co-worker who brought this dish to a pot-luck. Because it was "carrot salad" it went largely untouched. What a wonderfully pleasant surprise when I finally got the gumption to give it a taste!!!

Directions

Zest the two oranges and set aside. "Supreme" one of the oranges into sections and toss the orange segments with the shredded carrots, orange zest and minced ginger.

In a separate bowl, sqeeze the juice from the second orange. Add lemon juice and brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise, honey mustard and sesame oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Slowly combine the orange and lemon juice mixture in small amounts at a time, whisking it as it is added. Once combined, toss with the shredded carrots.

Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.

Store in refrigerator.

It is really good! Honestly - I would have never even tasted it, except I felt bad no one was eating it at the potluck! And then I couldn't stop talking about how good it was!!!

I *think* my co-worker that gave me the recipe said that she also puts a few drops of orange oil (?) in it to give it that extra orangy flavor. I didn't put that on the recipe because I couldn't remember exactly what she said.
