Notes

  • Vegan Option: To make this carrot salad vegan, substitute the honey for maple syrup.
  • Shred The Carrots: Peel all of the carrots and then use a box grater or food processor to shred them.
  • Apples: We used Pink Lady apples. Some other apples that work well are Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala.
