Carrot and apple salad image

I received some home grown carrots from a client..they where so huge! 2 large carrots made about 4 cups of shredded carrots. My mom use to make a carrot/raisin salad. I had a recipe stashed away, that I could make it later. Well, after I made this, I found out that my dear husband does not like carrot salad..I even left out the...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 to 4 large raw carrots, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 c chopped walnuts (nuts of your choice)
1 large apple, peeled and chopped
1/8 c shredded coconut (option)
1 c raisins (option)
pineapple, chunks ( to taste) option
1/4 c finely chopped celery (option)
1/2 c mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and shred carrots..I used my handy dandy food processor. Peel and chop apple. Your choice - red or green. (you could shred this also. But I like the chunky taste. Chop celery (option)
  • 2. In a large bowl, add the shredded carrots, apple chunks, walnuts, and any options that you want to add to this salad..
  • 3. In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar and salt. Take a taste. If it is to your liking..you are ready to stir this dressing into your carrot mixture. I mixed this dressing with my hands so that I incorporated the dressing mix to cover all the pieces..Make sure that the apples are covered with dressing or they may turn color.
  • 4. Chill for a few hours..(the original recipe said not to make it the day before...but I saw no difference as it took a few days to eat.) I also added some left over pineapple chunks to my salad and almost opened another large can, but refrained, as I did not want any more leftover pineapple. Enjoy with your dinner or as a snack for lunch.
