Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Peel the carrots and trim their ends. Using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating attachment, coarsely grate the carrots.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots and raisins.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the plain Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until well blended.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and raisin mixture. Toss well to ensure the carrots and raisins are evenly coated.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and toss again lightly to mix.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
