Easy Carrot and Apple Salad Recipe with Greek Yogurt
This simple Carrot and Apple salad is perfect next time you're looking for easy recipes to snack on or add to lunch or dinner as a healthy side dish! Even my favorite recipe testers, my nieces and nephew, approved. 😊
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 large carrots (about 3 cups grated)
- 1 apple (I use a Honeycrisp, about 2 cups grated)
- ½ tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Grate the apples and carrots with a box grater and the ginger with a citrus zester. Alternatively, you can finely chop the apples and carrots with a sharp knife, use a julienne peeler to grate them, or pulse them in a food processor.
- Combine the apples, carrots, ginger, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, kosher salt, and olive oil (if using) to a large bowl. Give everything a good mix to make sure it's coated.

Notes
Expert Tips
- Be sure to choose a firm apple variety like a honeycrisp, Granny smith, or fuji apple.
- Use the medium or large side of the box grater when grating the carrots and the large side for the apple.
- Be careful not to cut your knuckle when grating the carrots. I usually stop about 1-2 inches from the edge of the carrot to prevent an injury!
- Refrigerator - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
