- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Core the apples and grate them as well (peeling is optional, depending on your preference). Add the grated apples to the bowl with the carrots.
Using a microplane or fine grater, grate the fresh horseradish root. Add 2 tablespoons of the grated horseradish to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture, and toss well until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad and gently fold it in.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or horseradish if desired.
