Notes

This recipe is adapted from Rose Bakery's Breakfast Lunch Dinner Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 2 cups baby carrots, shredded or grated (about half of 1 pound bag)
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, shredded or grated
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, pan toasted
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • DRESSING:
  • Juice of 1 lemon, about 1/4 cup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add sesame seeds. Continually toss over heat until seeds brown and become fragrant. Turn off heat and give them a rest.
     
  2. Shred the carrots and apple with the grating blade on a food processor or use box grater or mandoline. Place the carrots and apple in a medium sized bowl. Add the sesame seeds and parsley. Toss evenly.
     
  3. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and garlic. Slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until fully blended. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
     
  4. Pour the dressing over the carrot apple mixture. Mix until all ingredients are fully coated.
     
  5. Eat as an appetizer salad, as filling for a wrap or with pita chips.
