Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by preparing the vegetables and fruits. Peel and grate the carrots into a large mixing bowl.
- Core the apples and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Immediately add them to the bowl with the grated carrots to prevent browning.
- Shred the red cabbage finely and add it to the bowl, along with the raisins or dried cranberries, chopped walnuts or pecans, and fresh parsley.
Make the Dressing
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the creamy citrus dressing. Combine the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Combine and Serve
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey if needed.
- If time allows, let the salad sit for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped nuts or parsley on top if desired.
Notes
This salad can be made nut-free by substituting with pumpkin seeds or toasted sunflower seeds. It keeps in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
