Recipe: Apple and Carrot Salad

When I was at the grocery store last week we picked up about 5 gala apples and a 2 pound bag of carrots – the intent was to use them in juices. That didn’t happen. Instead of letting them go bad, I checked out the pantry and found cranberries and pecans – perfect. Apple and carrot salad it is!

Ingredients

• 4 gala apples
• about 1.5 pounds of carrots
• 1 1/2 cups of dried cranberries
• 1 cup of chopped pecans

Dressing

• 1 cup of mayo
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1/8 cup of apple cider vinegar

First – get your ingredients ready.

Slice the apples into match stick pieces and put in a bowl – set aside.

Grate the carrots – add to the bowl of apples.

Add in the dried cranberries and pecan pieces – stir well.

Get the dressing ready. Mix the 3 ingredients together well and then add to the salad.

Done!

Eat a bowl and put the rest in the fridge for lunch – it’s hearty, filling, and healthy.

Enjoy.

Happy Tuesday – I hope you had a great long weekend…or have a great long weekend coming up. See you again soon.
