Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 2 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 stalk, finely sliced Green onion
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash and peel the carrots. Using a box grater or food processor with a shredding blade, shred the carrots into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Core and slice the apples into thin matchsticks, leaving the peel on for extra color and texture. Add the apple slices to the bowl with the carrots.
3. Finely chop the fresh parsley and thinly slice the green onion. Add these to the mixing bowl as well.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.
5. Pour the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture. Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated in the dressing.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a little more salt or lime juice as desired.
7. Let the slaw sit for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
