Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots, tri color for presentation
- ⅔ cup walnuts, chopped
- ½ cup craisins
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare 1 pound carrots, by washing and julienning them (thin matchstick cut). Toss the carrots into a bowl with ⅔ cup walnuts, and ½ cup craisins.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme,1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and place in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop and soak into the carrots.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can substitute the craisins for raisins or leave them out altogether. Similarly with the walnuts, you can substitute them for pecans, pistachios, or sunflower seeds.
- This recipe does great being prepared the night before and served the next day!
- You can use fresh or dried thyme in this recipe
- Plain orange carrots work perfectly fine for this recipe, I like the tri color option purely for presentation.
