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.
