A healthy and refreshing salad made with grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts, perfect as a side dish or light snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling the large carrots to remove the outer layer.
  2. Grate the peeled carrots using a box grater or a food processor until you have about 4 cups of grated carrots.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, raisins, chopped walnuts, and fresh parsley. Stir to mix all the ingredients together evenly.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
  5. Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss everything together until the carrots are well coated with the dressing.
  6. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey/maple syrup according to your preference.
  7. Allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
  8. Serve the raw carrot salad in a large serving bowl or individual plates, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For added crunch, try using different nuts such as almonds or pecans. This salad is best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
