Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 3 cups fresh carrots, shredded or julienned
  • 1 medium apple, grated
  • 1/2 cup crushed walnuts
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup optional raisins

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and shred or julienne your carrots evenly for a consistent texture that is easy to eat and looks inviting on the plate.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, pepper, and ground cumin until everything is well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the shredded carrots with grated apple, crushed walnuts, and chopped fresh parsley. Pour the dressing over and mix everything gently but thoroughly.
  4. Adjust and Serve: Taste your salad and add extra salt, lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar (natural) if needed. Add optional raisins here if you want that pop of sweetness, then give one last gentle toss before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm, bright orange carrots without blemishes for the best taste.
  • Shred or julienne the carrots evenly so every bite has the same delightful crunch.
  • Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.
  • Add nuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
  • Customize the dressing acidity and sweetness levels according to your preference.
