Carrot Salad with Apple

Finely grated carrots freshly tossed with tart apple, lemon juice and a spoonful of honey.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 500 g carrots
• 1 tart apple
• 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp sunflower oil
• 30 g walnuts
• 1/2 bunch parsley
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Peel the carrots and grate them on the coarse side of the grater into a bowl.
2. Wash the apple, quarter it, remove the core and grate it coarsely with the skin on so the salad keeps its bite.
3. Squeeze the lemon and immediately pour the juice over the grated apple so it doesn't turn brown.
4. Whisk honey, oil, salt and pepper with the lemon juice into a smooth dressing and pour over the carrots and apple.
5. Mix everything thoroughly and let it sit for 10 min. until the carrots soften and release some juice.
6. Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2–3 min., chop coarsely and sprinkle over the salad together with the chopped parsley.
