Ingredients

2 pounds shredded carrots freshly grated
1 medium chopped apple we used a Pink Lady apple
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup raisins roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Peel the carrots and cut both ends off. Then, grate the fresh carrots using a food processor or box grater.
Chop the apple into bite-sized pieces. Then, roughly chop the walnuts and raisins. Next, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Mix the honey in a bowl with the fresh lemon juice so it gets evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Add the shredded carrots to a large bowl. After that, add the apple, walnuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, raisins, parsley, lemon juice, honey, and salt.
Toss the carrot salad until combined. Enjoy right away or chill the salad before serving.

Notes

Serving: This recipe makes about 8-10 cups of carrot salad.
Grate Fresh Carrots: For the best texture and flavor, grate fresh carrots using a food processor or a box grater. Avoid pre-shredded carrots as they tend to be drier and have a tougher texture, which can affect the overall outcome of your carrot salad.
Storage: Store leftover carrot salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Chill The Salad: Let this carrot salad chill in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to further meld together.
Substitutions: You can use regular or golden raisins in this recipe. We used a Pink Lady apple, but Granny Smith or Honeycrisp will also work. For a nut-free option, omit the walnuts or replace them with sunflower seeds.
Vegan Option: To make this carrot salad vegan, replace the honey with maple syrup.
