Carrot apple salad is a favorite side dish in my home. It is packed with vitamins and nutrients and gives my kids a needed vitamin boost during the day.
The kids like it because it’s simple and tasty, and does not have a lot of “extras.” I like it because the recipe contains fresh fruits and vegetables and makes a great healthy alternative to the regular after-school snacks.
Carrot Apple Salad
- 5-7 carrots, peeled and grated
- 2 apples, peeled and grated
- juice of 1 orange or citrus fruit
- Optional: chopped pineapple
Shred carrots and apples with a potato peeler and squeeze orange juice over the salad. If you have a food processor, it will save time and energy with the grating portion of the recipe. Allow the salad to sit in juices for an hour. Serve chilled.
This salad sounds really good. I like carrots and apples together. Might just have to make some for dinner tonight. Thanks for the recipe.
Saw it, made it and ate it. Couldn’t wait to let it soak. Still really good!
Erik,
I’m so glad you liked it. It’s the best!
