Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots
- 0.5 head red cabbage
- 1 large green apple
- 1 large red apple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup, chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and shred the carrots using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red cabbage into fine shreds and add to the bowl with the carrots.
Core the green and red apples, leaving the skins on, and shred them as well. Immediately toss the shredded apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and walnuts and sprinkle them over the shredded mixture.
Add the raisins to the bowl for a touch of sweetness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and fruits, and toss everything together until well combined.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley or nuts, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
