Hurricane Recipe ∞ Hurricane Carrots

When the electricity was out for a week during Hurricane Isabel in 2003, we had to empty the fridge and try to still eat healthfully. I created this simple carrot salad--it's nutritious, doesn't require refrigeration, and is vegan/vegetarian.

• ½ cup raisins
• ½ cup golden raisins
• 1 cup whole almonds
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
