Ingredients
- 2 large apple
- 3 medium carrot
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the walnuts. Place a dry skillet over medium heat and add the walnuts. Toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated carrots in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Core and cut the apples into thin matchstick-sized strips (julienne). You can leave the skin on or peel the apples, depending on your preference. Add the apple strips to the bowl with the carrots.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Step 5
Prepare the dressing in a small bowl or jar. Whisk together the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture. Toss the salad gently to coat all the ingredients evenly in the dressing.
Step 7
Add the toasted walnuts to the salad. Give it another gentle toss to incorporate.
Step 8
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
