Ingredients
  

2 large carrots, grated

2 medium apples, cored and diced (preferably a sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Produce: Start by washing the carrots and apples thoroughly. Peel and grate the carrots using a grater or food processor. Core the apples and dice them into bite-sized pieces.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, diced apples, raisins or dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. Toss them gently to combine.

      Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the carrot-apple mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing.

          Chill: Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together.

            Serve: After chilling, give the salad a quick toss, taste, and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.

              Enjoy! Serve the salad as a refreshing side dish or a healthy snack!
