Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Apple Salad
  1. Begin by grating or julienning about four medium carrots and two crisp apples of your choice, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, to balance sweetness and tartness. Pat the grated apples dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture in your Carrot Apple Salad.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon, mixing until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots and apples, tossing them gently to mix the flavors. Gradually drizzle in the creamy yogurt dressing, ensuring all the grated ingredients get well coated.
  4. Cover the mixed Carrot Apple Salad with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to enhance the flavors.
