Author Notes: After cooking long grain brown rice with teff using carrot juice, I had a lot left over. I had cooked 1 cup of rice with 1/4 cup of brown teff in 1 1/4 cups of water and 2 cups of carrot juice with an inch of fresh ginger. So I wanted to use raw carrots with these grains in a salad. This is what I created. —Sagegreen
