Equipment
- grater
Ingredients
Vegetables and Fruits
- 5 medium carrots grated
- 3 tablespoon pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley diced
Dressing
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt and black pepper (if using) to a small jar that can be sealed. Shake to combine.
- Peel and grate the carrots on a box grater using the 'coarse' side of the grater, or in a food processor if you have the appropriate setting. Place in a large mixing bowl. De-core the apples, dice into small pieces and add to the bowl, along with the pomegranate seeds and diced parsley.
- Drizzle the dressing over the carrot and apple mixture and toss to combine.
Notes
The salad can also be made as a ribbon carrot salad, using a peeler to make ribbons rather than grating the carrot. For more zing, you could add green onion to the salad and/or minced garlic to the dressing, if they work for you. If you like a lot of dressing, you can double the quantities given.
