Carrot Apple Salad With Seasoned Greek Yogurt
Description
The Carrot Apple Salad With Seasoned Greek Yogurt uses thin ribbons of peeled carrots and delicate apple shavings combined with a dressing of Greek yogurt, mild curry powder, honey, and black pepper. The preparation carefully peels ribbons from the carrots and apples to maintain texture and appearance. The dressing coats the ribbons lightly, allowing the flavors to blend without overwhelming the fresh vegetables and fruit.
The salad's flavor profile features the natural sweetness of apple and carrot, enhanced by mild curry and honey for subtle warmth and aroma. Black pepper adds gentle spice, balanced by the creaminess of the yogurt. The salad is served immediately to preserve the crispness of the ingredients.
Variations can include adding raisins for sweetness, replacing yogurt with mayonnaise for a richer texture, or including nuts or seeds for crunch and added nutrition. This salad is versatile and offers a refreshing addition to meals or can be a simple snack.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt 55 grams
- ½ teaspoon curry powder mild
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or more to taste, freshly ground
- 5 carrot About 460 grams, large
- 1 apple 300 grams, large, sweet
Instructions
- Whisk yogurt, curry powder, honey and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Peel the carrots and cut into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler. (Hold a carrot in one hand, while with a peeler in the other hand you create ribbons peeling from top to bottom. Rotate the carrot regularly or after every three peels until you only have a small stick left. Repeat with other carrots).
- Peel the apple and cut short thin shavings. (Hold the apple in one hand, while with the other you peel thin shavings of the apple from top all the way to the bottom with a vegetable peeler. Rotate the apple regularly until you only have the core left).
- Toss the carrot ribbons and apple shavings gently into a serving bowl and combine with the dressing. I like to use a fork to combine and fluff in the dressing.
- Note: At first, it will look like you don’t have enough dressing, but continue to gently coat everything lightly. The flavors will melt together.
- Serve immediately. If preferred, season with extra freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
- Use leftover small carrot pieces or cores chopped in soups or juices to avoid waste.
- Mayonnaise can replace Greek yogurt for a creamier dressing.
- Add raisins for extra sweetness or chopped walnuts and sunflower seeds for crunch and nutrition.
