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...

Ingredients

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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover carrots and apples, but it's not my favorite.

I thought this salad was just okay. I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

This salad was disappointing. The dressing was too bland and the carrots and apples were not very flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of carrot salads, but this one was really good. The dressing is flavorful and not too overpowering.

I'm always looking for healthy and delicious salads and this one fits the bill perfectly. The dressing is a bit heavy on the vinegar for my taste, so I might adjust that next time.
