Summertime is just around the corner, and that means picnics, barbeques, pot lucks, and lots of summer salads. Every time warm weather comes around I start to get cravings for fresh, cold side dishes. For the next few posts I'm going to highlight some of my favorites.
To kick it off I'm going to share my recipe for Apple-Carrot Salad. Don't think it sounds weird - it is really quite delicious. You can use regular or golden raisins in this recipe, or for a treat substitute dried cranberries instead. Seriously, give this salad a try, it's great.
Lairdriin's Apple-Carrot Salad
2 apples, any type, same or mixed, chopped into smallish bite-size pieces
1/4 c grated carrot
2 Tbsp raisins
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds (shelled)
1/4 c plain yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon juice
dash salt
Mix yogurt and lemon juice. Mix other ingredients and pour dressing over the top; stir. Enjoy immediately or let marinate for an hour to meld flavors.
Happy eating!
