Notes
- Always taste the carrot before using it in making the salad, some have a little bitter taste if old.
- The type of apples to use in this recipe is the green apple because of the crunch and taste, the sweet apples like Gala, will give a softer texture and add more sugar to the salad.
- You don't have to add sugar to this salad, a balanced sweetness comes from the carrot, apple, and raisins.
- The serving is for 2 people but of course, you can double the ingredients. This salad is great with steak.
