Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 medium apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 celery stalks
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup walnuts (chopped, optional)
- 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the apple into small bite-sized pieces. Add the apple to the bowl with the carrots.
Thinly slice the celery stalks and combine them with the carrots and apple.
Add the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to the bowl and gently toss the ingredients together.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a light side dish or a healthy snack.
