Ingredients

• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 large Apple
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the carrots and apple thoroughly under running water.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Core the apple and grate it as well. Alternatively, you can cut the apple into very thin matchstick strips if you prefer more texture. Add it to the mixing bowl with the carrots.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the grated carrots and apple. Toss everything together gently until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.

Step 7

Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled salad.
