Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Carrots
- 2 medium-sized Apple
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots. Grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Wash and core the apples. Leave the peel on for added texture, or peel them if preferred. Grate the apples and immediately toss them with the lemon juice in the bowl to prevent browning.
Step 3
Add the raisins to the bowl with the carrots and apples.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the carrot, apple, and raisin mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad for a pop of color and added freshness.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
