Description
A refreshing and vibrant salad that combines sweet carrots and tart apples, all enveloped in a creamy honey-kissed dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 2 apples, diced (leave skin on for color and fiber)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or mayonnaise)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups shredded carrots and 2 diced apples. If using, add 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or mayonnaise), 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
