Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (any crisp variety like Fuji or Granny Smith)
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons plain non-fat yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons pepper
- 2 tablespoons raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Grate them using a box grater or food processor, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Wash the apples thoroughly. Core and grate them (leave the peel on for added fiber and color, if desired). Add the grated apples to the mixing bowl with the carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, plain non-fat yogurt, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the grated apples and carrots. Toss gently to combine until the mixture is evenly coated with the dressing.
If desired, add raisins and/or chopped walnuts to the salad for extra texture and flavor. Toss again to distribute.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates, and serve immediately. For best results, consume soon after preparation to maintain the fresh, crisp texture.
