How to Make Carrot Apple Salad
  1. Start by washing and peeling your carrots before shredding them into fine strips. For the apples, wash them, core, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry to maintain the salad's crispness.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend the yogurt and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Feel free to add a touch of honey or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors—mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine your shredded carrots and chopped apples.
  4. Gently pour the creamy dressing over your salad mixture. Toss carefully until everything is coated evenly.
  5. For the best flavor fusion, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  6. Optional: Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or dried cranberries for an extra delightful crunch.
