Ingredients

  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 large apple
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon raisins optional
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Peel 2 medium carrots. Then peel 1 large apple, halve it and remove the core.
  • Finely shred the carrots and apple using a hand grater with small holes.
  • Squeeze 2 Tablespoons lemon juice over and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar. If you like, throw 1 Tablespoon raisins in a bowl.
  • Stir to combine and serve.

Notes

  • The basic recipe makes 2 portions.
  • This salad can be enjoyed as a sweet snack or dessert.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle a little honey on top.
  • I used a box grater to grate the apples and carrots. Be patient, as hand grating takes a bit of time and effort.
