Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium beets
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
2 small (not tiny) potatoes
1 large carrot, peeled
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Dash of sugar
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large pickle, diced
1 tart green apple, diced
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut off the tops of the beets, scrub them, and place them on the baking sheet. Coat them with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and roast them in the oven for an hour. Remove from the oven, and when they are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool before peeling and cutting into 1/2-inch cubes. Cook the carrot for about 5 minutes in that same boiling salted water. Remove with a slotted spoon, cool and cut into 1/2-inch rounds.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, garlic, mustard, sugar and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a salad bowl. Stream in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Toss in the beets, the potatoes, the carrot, the pickle, the apple and the eggs. Stir until everything is just coated with the vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature garnished with fresh dill, or refrigerate and serve the next day.

CARROT AND APPLE SALAD



Carrot and apple salad image

I received some home grown carrots from a client..they where so huge! 2 large carrots made about 4 cups of shredded carrots. My mom use to make a carrot/raisin salad. I had a recipe stashed away, that I could make it later. Well, after I made this, I found out that my dear husband does not like carrot salad..I even left out the...

Categories     Other Salads

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 to 4 large raw carrots, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 c chopped walnuts (nuts of your choice)
1 large apple, peeled and chopped
1/8 c shredded coconut (option)
1 c raisins (option)
pineapple, chunks ( to taste) option
1/4 c finely chopped celery (option)
1/2 c mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and shred carrots..I used my handy dandy food processor. Peel and chop apple. Your choice - red or green. (you could shred this also. But I like the chunky taste. Chop celery (option)
  • 2. In a large bowl, add the shredded carrots, apple chunks, walnuts, and any options that you want to add to this salad..
  • 3. In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar and salt. Take a taste. If it is to your liking..you are ready to stir this dressing into your carrot mixture. I mixed this dressing with my hands so that I incorporated the dressing mix to cover all the pieces..Make sure that the apples are covered with dressing or they may turn color.
  • 4. Chill for a few hours..(the original recipe said not to make it the day before...but I saw no difference as it took a few days to eat.) I also added some left over pineapple chunks to my salad and almost opened another large can, but refrained, as I did not want any more leftover pineapple. Enjoy with your dinner or as a snack for lunch.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use crisp, sweet apples and fresh, tender carrots.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded carrots and apples.
  • If you don't have any fresh lemon juice, you can use white vinegar instead.
  • To make a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • For a more savory salad, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
  • Garnish the salad with chopped walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds for added crunch.

Conclusion:

Apple and carrot salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this apple and carrot salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
