- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Step 1
1. Wash and peel the carrots. Using a box grater or food processor with a shredding blade, shred the carrots into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
2. Core and slice the apples into thin matchsticks, leaving the peel on for extra color and texture. Add the apple slices to the bowl with the carrots.

Step 4
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.
Step 5
5. Pour the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture. Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated in the dressing.
Step 6
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a little more salt or lime juice as desired.
Step 7
7. Let the slaw sit for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
